Perhaps an alternative graphic for the engineers?

After looking at the animated movie I thought that the pontonier ability could be an engineers' one. I do not know a lot of the game as you see
Then yours it is a very good idea I guess that marines and sailors did not manage pontoons?
Nikel wrote:OK Eugene Carr I meant in real history.
I have searched in the Marines of the Civil War Osprey book and the word "pontoon" does not appear

Of course the word "boat" appears several times. But it is talking about when the marines disembark or go ashore using boats, not creating a bridge with them, that looks like an engineer task

Yes updated with the third graphic some time ago, that happens with editing posts instead of posting a new one, that nobody will notice it
Clovis? And what has he done? How is it different of yours?
Eugene Carr wrote:I made a new unit sort of a cross between the engineer and a supply wagon and gave it pontonier ability.
Would probably need some fine tuning by the experts.
S! EC
Just noticed you added a portrait file it should look even better!
Clovis has got the pontoons into SVF comparing his with mine it looks like my bridging train made it harder to cross the river
