Re: About river crossings...
Personally I'd only buy about a platoon worth (4).
But then I tend to play the USMC a lot and other then tanks a goodly percentage of what they use is amphibious.

Re: About river crossings...
How do you guys deal with streams (one hex rivers)? I get a high number of units immobilized there.
I know that there are bridge building units in real life (even in the greek army), but I haven't noticed any such units yet.
Suggestions?

Re: About river crossings...
Forget bridgebuilding, takes time. Instead:
-avoid stream/swamp combination
-drive slowly
-search for hexes with -1 height - standard stream gets -2, -1 means ford, ie muchless sticking.

Re: About river crossings...
Well has anyone ever seen that AI could make "fords" (-1 height) for generated river map? I have not ever seen that... Only for "pre-made" maps (made by players)?

Re: About river crossings...
To my experience fords can be found on any stream. Sometimes only few, but haven't met PC generated map with streams without fords.

Re: About river crossings...
So I am right there are no bridgebuilding units available in the game, right?
Had no idea about the "fords". I will be on the lookout for them. Thanks.

Re: About river crossings...
Really? Every time or randomly by times? Sorry if I ask stupid questions but I have played seldom river crossings (in generated battles and more seldom in campaigns)...

Re: About river crossings...
Oh, you mean "streams" as in big rivers? I thought you mean those small one-hex suckers! So to be clear, small streams have -2 "Stream" or -1 "Ford" depth, big rivers (composed of "water" hexes) don't have 'em.
