Control of bridge

[Matt W]

In PG control is by hex. Since bridges are an "in hex" feature they are controlled by the player controlling the hex, regardless of which river bank they entered from and whether they are stuck on one side of the river. Note that if you cannot cross a river there are substantial penalties to your assault if you are trying to control the hex.

If you control the hex you also (unless stated otherwise in the scenario SSRs) control the bridge. The bridge would be contested if the opposing player still has units in the hex that are not demoralized. Otherwise, the scenario cannot easily be lost by the German player. Blowing the bridge and fading away guarantees at least a draw.
