Wooden bridge (1/72 scale)
The "Surprise at Kosen" SDS scenario is based around a wooden bridge in the extreme flank of the Austrian defensive line. All my miniature bridges were built for Napoleon's Battles, so they are undersized when used for 1:1 skirmish games (in the same way that my houses and trees). Therefore, a new bridge was mandatory, and this page describes some of the basic steps of its building.
