Is there a way to blow my bridges apart from using engineers? And how many eng. points do they use in this way?
I many scenarios I see that my AI enemy destroys his bridges even without using engineers....

I think the AI uses special routines to destroy the bridges. It can�t handle engineers in the right way.
I do not know how many EP etc. (Vic explained somewhere), but i normally use smaller engineer units
of maybe 15 engineers to do this job. They always use ALL their EP for a bridge blowing attempt.
They are not always successful, but my red army destroyed a
lot of bridges while retreating. You can ask Freeboy or JAMiAM for

An other way to destroy bridges are strategic attacks of levelbombers. You have to target the hex next to the bridge.
And i suggest you use at least 5 bombers for this job. But even here it�s a bit a question of luck.
And you need air superiority

The AI gets a default bonus for blowing bridges, see in the editor:
- Settings->Rule Vars-> Artificial Intelligence -> #245 AI Blow Bridges without engineers; the default is set to yes so you get lots of bridges blown vs. the AI.
