To use them, a bridging unit, such as the German Brückenpioniere, must occupy a river hex. Beware however that the other bank of a river will often be most heavily defended near bridges.īridge engineers and vehicles are special units that allow other units to cross the river as if a bridge existed over it. Units can travel across the bridges just like any other road (or in the case of a railroad, as if the river were merely not there), making them the easiest way to cross a river. Road bridges exist wherever a road or railroad crosses over a river tile. There are two exceptions to these rules: bridges and bridging units.
Major rivers, represented by much wider rivers on the map, are completely impassable to most ground units unless they have frozen over. The next turn, the unit will be able to move freely onto either bank of the river. To cross a minor river, a unit must begin its turn on a hex directly adjacent to the river, and entering the river hex will use up the unit’s entire move. Minor rivers can be crossed by units, but the process takes several turns and can seriously hamper an offensive. There are two types of rivers in the game: minor and major rivers. Rivers are a common terrain obstacle that pose significant challenges for a player on the offensive.
