Is the building of bridges also a "percent chance of success per turn" thing (like blowing them is)? In KP scenarios I've been able to build bridges with 100% success, but in TAO scenario my German units had to wait [I]three[/I] turns before the bridge was ready. Each time the "traffic jam" marker appeared, but no unit was able to pass (no matter how large or small) on that or the following turn. Wot the...?! As the Jerry is in kind of a hurry and behind a major river in that scenario, I was naturally a bit pi...erm...surprised.

Also, why on Earth is the blowing of bridges a dice roll dependant action for engineer units (if there are no enemies around at all)?

Also enemy zones of control nearby can effect movement penalties.
