Hi. Playing as the US in Eddy's Riposte, in BTFB latest release.

One of the key objectives is to take some bridges and then push across some major rivers. But I don't quite get what is going on with some of them. Attached is an example, being the bridge between the town of Echternach and, on the other side of the major river, Echternacherbuck. I think it must be an error with the bridge - it shows 0% movement for both foot and vehicle movement, even though it is a bridge between two built up areas and links a major road over the river.

Or am I missing something?

And what does the number '9' in the box represent please?

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby.

The bridge in question has been previously demolished (blown).
As it spans a major river, it is not possible to cross here in a vehicle or on foot.

You can rebuild it with a bridging unit or capture one of the others across the river intact if you can.

The number 9 is just the symbol the guys decided to use to represent a blown bridge, when using the terrain info tool.
I have no idea why?
Its probably a display error, but will have no impact on the playing of the game at all, other than to confuse new players [:'(]

Good luck mate.

There is an excellent article on the bridge on this website, which is also where the pic comes from.
