A simple search of the rule book has most answers. It sometimes doesn't have everything unfortunately. But it's the first place I go to.
8.4.1. Equipment Characteristics
and Their Effects
Engineering
§§ Engineer Equipment: The equipment has an
Engineering capability.
§§ Major Ferry Equipment: The equipment can
enter Super River or Suez Canal locations
and can assist other units in entering this
terrain.
Special Capabilities
§§ Police: The equipment reduces traffic congestion
penalties at its location.
11.9.4. River Movement Costs
Rivers and Canals (as opposed to super rivers or
Suez Canal) normally add 2 to the cost of entering
a location. There are exceptions, as follows:
§§ Amphibious units are exempt from River
Movement costs
§§ If the total minor ferry capability in the
location (including that of the moving unit) is
greater than 20%, the moving unit is exempt
from River Movement costs.
§§ If the total minor ferry capability in the
location (including that of the moving unit)
is greater than 10%, the River adds only one
point to the Movement Cost. Total Ferry
Strengths less than 10% have no effect on
River Movement.
12. Engineering
12.1. Demolition / Bridge
repair (Advanced Rules)
Any unit can blow bridges. This can be done at any
time and at no cost.
If the “New Bridge Rules” Advanced Rule
option is ON then bridges may only be blown on
locations that have a road/railroad that graphically
crosses a river/canal. Otherwise, any location with
both a road//railroad and a river/canal, even if they
don’t graphically cross, is eligible to be blown.
Only units with an Engineering Capability can
build bridges, however. The attempt will consume
the unit’s entire Movement Allowance for a
Turn. The chance of success is equal to the unit’s
Engineering Capability.
12.2. Ferry Support
All Land units can cross Canals and Rivers at an
additional Movement Cost. The presence of units
with an Engineering Capability can reduce this
cost, based on their corresponding Minor Ferry
Capacity. See 11.9.4, River Movement Costs, for
more information.
12.3. Major Ferry Support
Land units cannot usually enter Super River or
Suez Canal locations. Units that have a Major
Ferry Capacity of greater than 10% have the ability
to enter these locations and create temporary
crossing points for other units. If the hex contains
a blown bridge, a unit with engineering equipment
can move into, or through, the hex and even
attempt to make repairs. If a Scenario designer
has placed an Anchorage (port) in the hex, this
will allow Land (and Naval) Movement into and
out of the hex as well.
19.1.1. Equipment Density
Up to nine units may be grouped in any particular
location, but in many cases this is a bad idea. Each
location has a specific allowed Equipment Density:
50 + 2 x Scenario physical scale2
Scale Allowed Density
2.5km/hex 68
5km/hex 100
10km/hex 250
15km/hex 500
20km/hex 850
25km/hex 1300
50km/hex 5050
Any location with more than the allowed number
of Vehicles or Horse Teams suffers from traffic
jams (increased movement costs to enter). Any
location with more than the allowed number of
“active defender” equipment suffers from increased
losses in the Event of combat.
