Help Please!

Post by warspite1 »

Does anyone know what is happening here? I can't enter this, seemingly empty, hex. There is a thick blue line so is this some kind of canal type thing? If that is the reason then how do I overcome this?

Thanks

You are way up in the Italian badlands there ....how is your supply...? It may be a combination of reduced movement available through poor supply and the cost of crossing the river makes it an issue....just a thought...

Movement points are okay - there is a unit on the road under the one seen with plenty of points left. Supply is poor as expected here but no worse than on the east coast.

Oh well I never did like that town anyway.

Engineers helping them get over the river..er..thick blue line should do the trick. Thick blue lines are like that. Skinny blue lines not so much. [;)]

The line looks thinner east of the town, so the units should be able to cross east of the 'Terni' hex without engineer help? And then enter the hex from the north side of the river?

That is a super river hex and your opponent has blown the bridge over it. To enter it without the bridge you need 10% Major Ferry support. Find a unit that has that and move it into that hex. Either that, or get an engineer into the hex and have it fix the bridge.

I was sure that I would see a clip about this river.
