Ok, here is my challenge.

I want to simulate riverine transport but not use sea hexes as rivers (due to the scale).

ok, so easy, I make large rivers and I put anchorage symbols on every hex. so river transport works!

BUT.

now super rivers can be entered WHATEVER terrain they are in, flooded marches, etc. I tryed to put parge escarpments aroung them, but to no avail.

anyone has a solution??

If you're not using rail transport elsewhere in the scenario you could lay rail lines along the river course.

Yea, I think that's how its done in the American Civil War scenario. Or perhaps it uses improved roads. I haven't looked at it in a while.

Yes, try badlands. *

* - Units can still leave the river at any location but can only enter at a normally reachable anchorage.
