Retreating into super rivers

[Captain Cruft]

I just had an example in a game where non-ferry capable infantry units retreated into an empty super river hex.

Presumably this is a known bug?

Can you attach a save file, screenshot, or a more complete description? There are several reasons that this should happen, but I don't know whether your situation is one of them.

[Captain Cruft]

Here is the save file. It's a SAL of a PBEM, so you won't be able to see the German side I guess.

The German units now in 64,18 retreated from 65,18, to be replaced by US unit 3rd Arm D, 3/CCB which advanced after combat.

The attack was from all units in 65,17 with Limit Losses and no explicit support.

Oops. I just noticed something.

There is an "improved road" in the retreat hex but it doesn't show on the visual map. So I suppose that explains it but is in itself a different type of bug. In fact the hex as having both "improved road" and "bridge destroyed" attributes. Strange ...

Units with just a little engineering capability can enter a destroyed bridge hex. I'm guessing those regiments and battalions have a handful of engineering squads.

Chuck explained it. No bug here. Working as designed.

[Captain Cruft]

OK that's fine. How about the hex that is both "improved road" and "bridge destroyed" simultaneously?

That is a road hex, that had its bridge blown. When you repair it, the "bridge destroyed" text goes away.

[Captain Cruft]

Now I am feeling stoopid. I was labouring under the delusion that when you had "bridge destroyed" the "improved road" or whatever attribute was not shown anymore. Oops.

Thanks for the help.
