An idea: get rid of all the land crossings and have engineers able to "build" or deploy one of those extend O bridges. Similar to how the commander deploys sandbags or bunkers etc.

There called River fords.
OR River crossings.

Actually as said, it's up to the mapper on how he wants to have the map played.
So the entire Chinese armor division can cross the river like they're Jesus Christ walking on water, when the bridges go down, fine with me.

The only place where these fords need to be removed is al-Basrah. If Insurgents blow all the bridges up, then GB should be worried and should repair and protect one of these bridges, not 'oh well, lets take the ford'.

Oh and just because the GB doesn't win the map doesn't mean it's unbalanced. Back in 0.5 USMC had 2 Cobras and two A10s and they still didn't win. As it is now, it's just a player side problem and the map can be easily won and IMO it's actually balanced towards the British, they just need to get their sh1t together.
It's always been like that now that I think of it, the only reason why the GB/US never won this map a lot is the natural selection not working online.

No.
It would distract the fighting from govement and leading to a kind of trench-warfare over the bridges.

I agree to reduce crossing on Al basrah, but not remove all of them. It forces them into a choke which can easily be guarded with ieds.
Actually it be fine with making the indestructible bridge at village destroyable.

Those two crossings are damn near hidden. No sign, no road, nothing.

That's a fair point, but then again I don't think either of them are intentional fords in the river, they look more like they are just points in the river where you happen to be able to cross because it is shallow enough.

Fords are realistic...

Ford (crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

They are just overused in many maps but there is such things in real life, they where not just dreamt up overnight

I don't think anyone debating whether they're realistic (I hope not anyway), just their use in game. It seems that a few people want all crossings to be destructible for gameplay purposes.
