Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Hello to all!!

I have a question that make you, see if you can help me:

I am currently playing the Battle of Wagram with the French army.
When I'm pulling my troops of Lobau Island, I have a problem:
The supply wagons and the cavalry can not cross the bridges.
That what it is because of this?, I've been looking at the manual and can not find any information about it ... Can you help?

A lot of thanks!!

Hi Isaac,
I don't have Wagram, but in all of the games, bridges require a certain number of points (like strength) in order for units to cross. You can tell the points a bridge has if you have a unit facing it (but not on it). Can artillery cross the bridge, but cavalry cannot? Because artillery and cavalry and supply wagons require the most points of a bridge, and infantry the least.
Good luck, Lieutenant.
Regards,

Isaac,
I should add, that you can repair a bridge (give it more points if it is lower than it should be) by using a pioneer unit. Have them face the bridge, highlight the unit, use the command bar at the top, and click on repair bridge.
Regards,

This was fixed some time ago but I have been waiting for an update to go out for the game. We are getting closer. Rich is working on the udpates for the Squad Battles series at present. I do not know when the Napoleonic series will be updated but he mentioned that it was coming up in the near future. No date for you on that ...

For Club Games: I prefer the Single Phase mode of play. I prefer to play with the following options OFF:

MDF, VP4LC, NRO, MTD, CMR, PR, MIM, NDM, OMR (ver 4.07)

Possibly you have been fighting around the bridges and they have taken hits Bridge need 150+ to support Horses!

Ok, thanks for the answers!!

My bridges still need more points to be crossed by horses...

Isaac,
You can also use more than one pioneer unit to repair a bridge, which I would recommend, because individually, they do not provide enough points fast enough. The more pioneers you can have repairing the bridge the better.

You can win in 1809 if you hold the Cav back advance with the Saxons and the IV keep the II and III Res. get your guns up to the bridges first clear the front.
