Bridge bug?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Bridge bug?

Post by Phoenix100 »

Could someone do me a favour and run Piper's Race and just check Cheneux Bridge, to see if it is there. See snap below. Shouldn't look like that, surely?

Should add - this is Cheneux bridge on day 1. It hasn't been blown, or anything like that. It just doesn't appear to be there.

Confirmed. This bridge has bit of a problem. I opened the map (Trois Ponts) and extended the bridge (light road type) slightly NE across the 1 km grid and this would do the fix.

Thanks, Harry. I'm not up to fixing it myself like that. Wouldn't have a clue. I wonder if the bug just appeared with patch 3 - don't recall it before. Would need to check all the bridges now, I guess.

Is there actually a crossing point? I'm not sure. The minor road might go right across the river, a bit lower down than the bridge graphic. Not sure.

Didn´t try. What does the pathing tool show for original map?

The crossing is there, there is no bug. Use "shortest wheeled" pathing tools from different locations on either side of the River and see for yourself.

Remember you are playing on a 100m grid - you can think of it as hexes but it's really squares. More often than not the movement tables will not match the graphic overlay exactly. On some crossings you won't see the "bridge" motif on a right click, but the important thing is that it is there and it is functioning.

And don't call me shirley.[;)]
