How can I define bridges over ocean hexes?

You need two settings enabled.

First, you have to set the scenario option “Allow roads on any terrain…” enabled for all scenarios where you want allow bridges over ocean (or other impassable terrain) hexes.

Then you have to edit the TerrainEx.txt of your Efile and you should enable (by adding value “1”) the allow-bridge (4th parameter of the [terrain-data] section) for ocean hexes, just like this:

*N=terrain, base-entrench, initiative-cap, supply-factor, allow-bridge, avoid-mech-landing
