How do you get past a wreck on a bridge? Can any vehicles push the wreck off? They could in real life couldn't they? If it was a jeep or armored car, a squad of men could push it off. I hope there is a way. Otherwise it seems unrealistic, for a defending enemy could just place mines at the bridge andyou could never get to them. Thanks, Mike

Well, you could use your engineers to check the bridge before you roll your Lt tanks and armored cars across it!

Bridges are perfect bottlenecks, aren't they? A wreck could probably be pushed off the bridge provided it was still able to roll and the bridge was flat with no rails. This job was a lot easier while not under fire and usually took quite a few minutes or even hours. Within the time frame of most scenarios it is considered to be impossible. Besides, its almost impossible to get the favorable conditions you'd need to easily push the wreck over the side. As Rhone said, it is very important for bridges to be inspected by infantry before crossing with vehicles because a wreck can be a very effective roadblock. - von Bult
