Status: offline 		Hi all,

I'm not at home to check this out in the game myself, but is it possible to mine bridges?? Either with scenario emplaced mines or with those fired by arty?

If so shouldn't those explosions also take down the bridge or at least render it unusable?

If not, then would the idea be a candidate for Southern Storm??

Just a thought..

Rob.

Set up in locations where you have units overlooking the bridge, preferably not exposed to other terrain, mine the bridge, then abuse that 0% cover as much as you can.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		Hi,

Thanks for the responses guys! It's all good to know and facilitates better play.

Speaking of FASCAM.............

I can understand why the opposing sides can see where each others minelets are dropped when the target hex is under observation in some fashion, but when the target hex is in no way currently viewable by the opposing side (say many miles away etc. in the prep for a new line of defence for example)why does the opponent get to see that FASCAM shoot/placement?? Not complaining, just asking.

Thanks.

Rob.

Good Hunting.

Probably still won't sound all that good - Can't imagine artillery rounds having too much of a radar cross-section.
