Engineers, Bridges and Suicde....illogical

[Glenn Saunders]

... should bridging engineers, so dedicated to maintaining the bridge, have any ZOC while the bridge is deployed?

There is no way I could justify asking John for such an exception.

I think that an Emergency Bridge abandonment command is a good idea. However, the bridge (especially a pontoon) should remain intact,

The whole premise of the unit breakng is to remove the bridge and in fact there is NOTHING in the existing game code that could keep the bridge intact without the Engineer present. So the Eng abandoning the would be deemed to damging the bridge to the point of disabling it. If the other side wants a bridge there then they would have to build one by bring up one of their own bridge engineers.
