Tanks cannot cross Fords?

Post by Gerry4321 »

Hell All:

It seems that tanks cannot cross Fords (terrain tile is marked as Rough)? Is that correct?

Thanks,

Gerry

Hmmmm there seems to be a contradiction in the point of calling it a ford then :)

Not really. It could be safe for infantry but would bog a vehicle down.

Yes, infantry could move on the ford.

Wondering if there will be some in between possibilities as in some fords over shallow stream that are fordable by tanks in some scenarios? I think they could do this?

Thanks,

Hello Gerry,

I was playing the singleplayer campaign at the weekend and I did find a scenario which had a road tile go across a river. Unfortunately, although I have opened the editor, I have not created anything, but there should be the same tile found in the campaign found in the editor. Alternatively there are the bridges, which armour can cross.
