Just thought I'd ask..

Are there any questions about rules, strategies, etc that anyone has? I'm starting to think about what the next videos should be, so I thought I'd get some feedback from everyone on what they would like to see.

I would like to see a tutorial that puts together *everything* about bridges (railroad and road) in one place. What happens when you blow a bridge an an Ogre falls in the water? How about when infantry falls? Marines? What if I drop bridge on a GEV that is moving along the surface of the river below? How about a submerged Ogre? Marines? A GEV carrying marines?

That's a pretty good one; I'll add it to my list, but might be interesting (i.e., underwhelming) to see how that's handled in the video game.
I'm assuming you are talking about full-hex bridges, not stream bridges.
Off the top, most of this is covered in 13.02.2

1. What happens when you blow a bridge an an Ogre falls in the water? - An Ogre takes 4d6 damage to treads, and a 1:1 attack against every component.
2. How about when infantry falls? Marines? Dead and Dead (Only Ogres survive at all)
3. What if I drop bridge on a GEV that is moving along the surface of the river below? - Nothing happens - destruction affects only units that were on the bridge
4. How about a submerged Ogre? Marines? - No effect
5. A GEV carrying marines? - (assuming GEV-PC) - Dead and Dead if on the bridge, No effect if under it.

It's important to remember that "under" is a relative term, it actually means "just happen to be in the same hex, but on the water." It also won't affect movement out of the hex, but it may affect defense bonuses from terrain (it is now considered the same as Rubble for defense).

Wouldn't that have made it Tanksgiving?

Indeed. That has been mentioned already :-)
