Floating Bridges
These Units are exactly as they sound - Bridges which float!
This is another of the Generic Units in WET EPIC. Most forces of the 41st Millenium Employ some sort of floating bridge for surprise assaults across rivers. Very fast and heavily armored they can be deployed very fast and easily. However, they are still very vulnerable. With no armament of any kind other than the hand guns carried by their crew, they rely purely on their own speed and the support of other vessels to protect them on their mission.
RULES:
These units are strictly water based and so may not be deployed where any part of their structure is over land - the river must be wider than they are long.
Floating bridges can be up to 10 cam long and 5 cam wide - but remember that the bigger you make the bridge the less likely it is to fit where you want it on the river!
A Floating Bridge is deployed simply by reaching its destination and putting itself across the gap!
Floating bridges DO NOT JOIN any other detachment -they operate with their own commands.
Floating bridges can not be passed by other water units without the other unit sinking the bridge.
The Bridge may move off once again once it has served its purpose in an area - but not in the same turn as units have passed over it.
Floating Bridges may also act as Ferries - with the ability to carry either One Vehicle Unit or Two Squads Of Troops moving at normal speed across the water.
