Bridge Building

[BK6583]

Haven't used this feature much. First, I assume you can't just build a bridge anywhere across a river - it has to be at a "crossing point"?

Second, in the scenario I'm playing I have two US engineer companies each with bridging of "437". I ordered them both to build a bridge at a crossing point and a bridge has been built. It says however that it's a "Light Road Bridge". The two engineer units are now defending. Do I have to order them to construct a bridge again at the same point to get it up to a "Medium Road Bridge"? The tools menu also indicates that motorized can cross - didn't know they could do that across a "Light Road Bridge". Can they in this instance?

Bridges have to be at a crossing point. Light Road bridge is enough for any unit to cross, just more movement cost than heavy road bridge.

Had there been a heavy bridge at the start of the scenario, and it was blown, you would have had to rebuild a heavy bridge to get any 'secure crossing' VP's for it. This would require successive construct orders until the heavy bridge is built.

What scenario are you playing?
