Sometimes you may have an immobilised vehicle standing on a bridge or another narrow passage.

Is there any way in SPWaW to move the vehicle on (tow-tanks or other)?

Will it help reduce the movement loss of other units if the crew bails out?

Can anyone help?

I've never seen or heard of a method to clear a blocking vehicle in SPWaW. (I've seen a number of requests of this type, though. :) )

IIRC, this can become a problem only on a bridge, and only after two or more vehicles have been disabled/destroyed in the same hex. Wooden bridges take two vehicles to block and Stone bridges take three. Or something like that. :rolleyes:

If it's a wooden bridge, your opponent will probably be along with some artillery to help you solve your blockage problem. ;)
:cool:

Ruskies have heavy truck YaG-6 that can be used as a recoveryvehicle even for immobilized tanks. :eek: :cool:

He's absolutely right. I loaded KV-2s and Tiger 1Es onto Yag-6 trucks!!! In-freakin-credible!!

Just goes to show, you can learn something new everyday. :D

IIRC you can do the following:

1. Move a barge under the bridge (providing that you have one).
2. Click on the tank, press L, and then click on the barge. (If this doesn't work, click on the barge first, press L, and then click on the tank.)
3. Click on the shore of the opposite bank. The immobilized tank will be forced to land. :D

On a side note, a YaG-6 can load another YaG-6 (weight 230, carry capacity 233):D
