Status: offline 		I am playing "Crossing the Golden Gate" as the US. The vehicle bridge is build but I cannot cross it with my Patton tanks although the strenght points are less than 12. What am I doing wrong?

And another question: What do the red crosses (for example hexes 43,55 and 46,54) placed on the map stand for? Cannot find it in the manual.

Thanks in advance.

Can you send me your save file so I can have a look?

Evidence suggests that Light Bridges were built here. In the code, the movement is blocked because Heavy Vehicles are attempting to cross a Light Bridge, which no can do.

Status: offline 		Thanks for that Berto...I am playing Tom in this PBEM and wondering if it is worth us restarting. Did Tom just build the bridge with the wrong Engineering unit by mistake (that only had Light Bridge capability) or is there a fault with the scenario in that the US are missing a Heavy bridge building capability and we should wait for a patch ?

Status: offline 		I'm guessing he should have saved the Engineers for the mines ahead and used the bridgelayer for the bridge.

I'd recommend restarting, as much of a pain that is and only use the bridgelayer for the vehicle bridge.

Status: offline 		It think part of the mission is actually getting the Engineer trucks to the north, so he may miss some Event Points there... but hey, it's for fun, right?
