Bridges and bridging equipment

[rob89]

In the WitE2 area there are a lot of LARGE rivers (Volga, Don, Dnepr, Donets, Dvina, Dnestr, Vistula, Danube, Oder, etc.) and there were relatively few heavy bridges, especially in Russia. The bridgeheads needed heavy bridging equipment (assigned to a few specialized bridging engineer units, and a long preparation) and were often the target of air attacks and/or demolitions during the retreats, as a means to gain time ...

All of this is missing in WitE... and all of this is a real big operational issue...

Obviously crossing the wider rivers involves movement penalties, but practically any unit (even brigades) is able to do it autonomously, everywhere ...

Do you think it will be possible in the future to have this type of implementation, at least for the wider rivers?

thanks in advance

Suggest "bridging" be a special capability that may be added to limited numbers of appropriate units.

At least for major rivers 1 pioneer bn asssigned to the unit that crosses (first) should be required

If I could indicate a priority in the changes to the game, I would certainly indicate the need for the bridge management for major rivers, with specialized river-crossing engineers'units (and the possibility of demolitions too).
