Hans Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Was just looking at a possible scenario but it needs a damaged bridge that is passable only to dismounted troops. So there is a suggestion. Hey engineer grogs in European Russia what type of load bearing bridges did they have? How many typical bridges could withstand a 35 ton tank? Should there be more than one type of bridge in the CM3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 For your scenario, try putting AT mines at each end of the bridge - Infantry can get across fine, but vehicles will be blocked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 Thanks FK Unfortunately a clever player would move up pioneers to clear it. Thanks for the suggestion. I hope that in CM3 we'll have damaged bridges and perhaps another European oddity, footbridges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinxi Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 What about trying some rocks at one or both ends of the bridge - it could represent damage to the road and or bridge and would prevent vehicles crossing but the inf could press on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Well, bridges do take damage like buildings. Unfortunately even a "heavily damaged" bridge can carry a Sturmtiger. I would suggest maybe placing a roadblock onto the bridge (it can't be removed. But it also slows down infantry...) or, you could have a destroyed landbridge. You can place destroyed bridges by putting a rubble tile onto the spot, then preview, then go to editor, then slap a bridge onto the rubble. Preview again. Now, as it is a "land bridge", your infantry can still cross the tile. Or then just make it a house rule for human players. Probably works the best... An' I second the idea of having bridges with tonnage limitations. The average bridge couldn't take more than a lorry at a time (then again, the fiercest fights were for bridges that could carry heavy stuff, and they were fought over for that specific reason). In 1944 a Finnish T-34 platoon came by a bridge across the Saimaa Canal. The bridge seemed too shaky for the tanks, and so they were waiting for engineers to come by and put up a new bridge. But then some overly anxious officer showed up, accusing them of loitering and claiming that the bridge can support the tanks. Well, he was a higher-ranking officer, so one T-34 tried going over... crash! The T-34 fell into the canal. Fortunately the driver, who was the only person on board at time, got out. That officer disappeared swiftly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
