Darn, and here I kept trying to cross rivers at railheads thinking there was some advantage to doing so (other than the eventual supply advantage, of course).

I don't think it's a big deal. At this scale I'm not sure how bridges could be implemented anyway. Any rail crossing is an obvious bridge and maybe those hexes can receive a slightly lower cost in movement points? That might be the easiest way to bring them into the game without making a major overhaul.

In Decisive Campaigns Warsaw to Paris, the scale is much smaller and I thought bridges were modeled very well. I was careful how I used them in my strategy. However, at 10 miles a hex I just don't think its a big deal that they are not in WITE. It goes hand in hand with the map not having roads...

So I'm totally fine with homogenous treatment (at least there's a penealty if the river is big and wide).
