Is building or upgrading roads possible in WitP?
Never saw it mentioned, but it would be a nice feature.

Status: offline 		Lots of roads and railroads got built by both sides during the war. A major effort for the US was building the road from the "Lower 48" to Alaska, for instance. IIRC, the Chinese also built lots of roads based solely on the efforts of manual labor.

Status: offline 		It’s a pity they could not have added roads/rail a bit like disabled industry but you had to deploy engineers and supply to "repair" enabling you to develop some infrastructure in undeveloped area.

Maybe WITP II

Means you could ( at great cost ) push roads through an area or improve alla the Ledo road.

Status: offline 		In fact, communications were a major target in Burma and China, including railways, bridges and rivers... The two first were bombed, repaired and built, but they are set in stone in the game, while the third is inexistent.

A lot of road and railways were built during the war, but a lot were also destroyed. For example it was common pratic for retreating Chinese troops to destroy roads and take away rails... The Japanese reply was to use the former railway paths, now lacking any rails, as roads for their trucks... There is an interesting USAAF study available somewhere on the Net (didn't remember where) about Japanese logistics in China and USAAF efforts against them.

ok, the road construction battalions build and repair everything but the roads ... it explains why my road construction battalions in fields never work ! Vacations are finished for them now that I know !! W.-C. chores for them in the nerest bases .
