All vehicle lineup should have been completed BEFORE the first vehicles moves onto the bridge. Use moderate speeds

This worked, although a couple of tanks still ended up in the water.....only minor losses this time..
from now on: water = danger

Strange that you still have losses. The bridges I somehow got correctly from the first match on, I never lost a single tank straying off. I lost tanks that headlessly drove into the water at other opportunities, and tanks that got into a traffic jam in a minefield breaching, evaded and got disabled by mines, but on bridges I still wait for a loss due to traffic or formation manouvering. Keep on varying your procedures. It should be possible to avoid your losses!

Well, the losses may be because of faulty leadership from me....

I ordered a platoon of tanks over a bridge and it went well this time, but I did not set the last waypoint far enough from the bridge for the entire platoon to cross (2 tanks were still on the bridge)..when the platoon came under fire, the tanks started taking evasive action, which resulted in two tanks falling from the bridge....

Lesson learned: move the entire platoon across....

My next mission will be in the desert, so I don't expect many bridge-related losses there!
