    Default SeaBridge for land armies: anyone seen this?

    Just noticed the ability in my rtr 5.1 campaign to move land-units across 3 fleet units from (Rhodes to Halicarnassus).

    Haven't seen this since M:TW, anyone else seen any examples?

    May or may not apply to vanilla versions/1.2 patch versions of the game, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if it 'floats', lol!

    The pst concerning the 'hard to identify' river fords brought this to mind~

    Yeah, there's a couple I like to use...

    A ship in Samarobriva's port can be used as a bridge between Britain and the continent without having to move from port, providing my Julii a nice and easy invasion route to go and whomp on those 'Woads'.

    Rather more exposed, but still useful, is a bridge of 3 fleets I place at the port of Tarentum and the 2 squares eastward, giving me a route between Apulia and Epirus while also blocking foreign vessels from entering the Adriatic.

    Hm... I think I have heard it somewhere before... Official source I think. Anyway I didn't consider it before, now I might.

    It existed in Vanilla 1.1, and still exists in 1.2. I've used it as the Bruti going from the port by Tarentum across to Apollonia.

    For some reason I didn't expect to see anything like this. Possibly all the flak that used to exist in the forums over the ability to 'airmobile' units in M:tw.

    Anyone have an example of a bridge longer than 3 tiles?
