Post subject:  Supply across uncrossable creek

In a scenario I'm currently playing it appears that an enemy supply wagon is providing supply to units on the other side of a creek that cannot be crossed by any units. Were the wagon to trace a line through hexes that can be moved through, the units on the other side of the creek would be well out of supply range.

Is it possible that supply range can extend across the uncrossable creek?

Does no-one know the answer?

I'm starting to think that supply does extend across an uncrossable creek. This is despite the fact that although a " bridge must have a strength of at least 3/4 the maximum to carry
artillery or supply wagons" the supply function of them is uninterrupted by such concerns or the uncrossable creek itself.

In the last two turns I did in a Chickamauga scenario, I had to move my supply wagon around an uncrossable creek in order to resupply my units on the other side, so the answer appears to be that a creek that is not crossable by bridge or ford will prevent resupply. Is it possible that there is another supply wagon that you do not see?

Yes, in the example I referred to it is "possible that there is another supply wagon I do not see". This is why I wanted to determine if supply could extend over the uncrossable creek.

Thank-you for your advice, much appreciated.
