Blown bridges.

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

Blown bridges.

Anyone has any succes capturing bridges intact? Despite my best efforts the AI just loves to blow them whenever I push it too far or as soon as my troops are about to reach the VP which controls it. Bit of a bother really.

Certainly some bridges are harder than others. I was able to capture a few in the Nijmegen sector. Some bridges like Zon you would just have to sprint from the very beginning and ignore casualties in order to prevent it from blowing.

I've just restarted the GC with the new Beta patch and have taken Son and hueman, failed on Best and St odenrode so far.

you need to use different plans for differnet maps. Son is an all out rush made easier by the fact you start with a large BG, Hueman is similar. The other two I've had success (prior to this patch at least) by taking a sloftly softly approach, infiltrating over 2 turns rather than seeking confrontation. then i can get my troops close enough to storm the bridge and take down the defenders

The last full GC I started I captured all the bridges intact except Son. I've only gotten that one once.
