TomBombadil711 -> Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 12:07:44 PM)
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 post a screenshot of where you build the bridge? [image]local://upfiles/12395/AC64203B2AE347BBB11E522EDE96249A.jpg[/image]

Screenshot attached.Bridge in hex "Golden Gate". Because my engineers were bored they built a second bridge up left[:)]. [image]local://upfiles/18568/F25212D0668944B49F1349AE900795FA.jpg[/image]

Hmm, looks like you built it in the right spot Can you send me your save file so I can have a look?

TomBombadil711 -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 3:18:36 PM)
Will do. Please let me know your email address as I cannot attach a file when sending via Matrix.

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. [image]local://upfiles/5869/1B892E33F8C34329BEA5834E0ADE20EF.jpg[/image]

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 ?

Jason Petho -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 8:38:03 PM)
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.

Jason Petho -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 8:41:10 PM)
FYI, only Bridge Engineers and AVLB units can lay medium (aka Vehicle) bridges

devoncop -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 8:50:25 PM)
We are both learning the nuances still so it is no hardship. Thanks for the clarification .

Jason Petho -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/26/2022 8:59:21 PM)
no problem at all. Soooo many little nuances to think about now. hahahaha

devoncop -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/27/2022 6:06:32 AM)
Tom, with all the overconfidence of many US commanders at the time is confident he can still "librrate" the area from my liberators so he wants to continue ....so we play on ![:)]

Jason Petho -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/27/2022 6:14:06 AM)
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?

TomBombadil711 -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/27/2022 8:05:41 AM)
Thanks for your efforts, Jason. Much appreciated. And you are right, it's for fun!

TomBombadil711 -> RE: Need help with bridges (1/27/2022 10:08:54 AM)
I had another question: What do the red crosses (for example hexes 43,55 and 46,54) placed on the map stand for?

Oh yes, those are the Area Boundaries.. for example AREA FOOTBALL, AREA BASEBALL, AREA TENNIS
