Matrix Napoleon in Russia

[AstroBlues]

I have a question concerning LaBattaille Borodino on Matrix John Tiller game. The Russians have blown up a bridge with artillery fire, and I would like to know if the French can repair it in any way. I could not find it in the manual, and help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Ron

Nope - the French are consigned to using the fords. Depends on what scenario you are playing. If fixed units then crossing is easy, if no fixed units you will face a difficult task. Unless the Russians let you cross just to destroy you once you are over with units and cannon beyond "effective" range of artillery based north of the river.
No fixed units and the woods by the bridge could be a bloody affair. fixed units and it's almost a walk in the park.
