Ran into this while trying to finish up Germania campaign...I was attacking a cross a bridge and saw a new effect. Usually the defenders all rush in and a few of them charge off of the banks into the water. This time, as my two phalanx units reached the end of the bridge and met the enemy blocking unit, the other two enemy units wrapped around behind, but didn't drown. Instead, a few men skirted the edge of the water, went under the bridge, then climbed/reappeared BEHIND my units that were still ON the bridge. ~:eek: I started taking horrible casualties. I had to rush up reinforcments to pin these guys (I had been distracted waiting for them to drown.)
I try to avoid bridge battles, but the AI likes to park armies there, and sometimes you just must fight them.
