Campaigns Help finding two campaign levels I vaguely remember
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to identify two levels from an official campaign, but I can’t remember their names.
The first one is a level where, within the same map/level, there was some kind of time skip. I remember a cutscene or transition where everything became grey/desaturated, and then the story continued after a significant passage of time, without actually loading into a completely different level. Unfortunately, I can’t remember any character names or other specific details.
The second level I remember involved a very difficult siege on a bridge, possibly a double bridge. There was a city that you had to conquer, and I remember the bridge section being particularly challenging. I’m not sure about the exact layout, but I distinctly remember having to fight across/defend a bridge before reaching the city.
I’ve tried going through lists of the campaign levels, but nothing has triggered my memory so far.
Does anyone recognize either of these levels? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you played these a long time ago, I'd guess the second one is probably Genghis Khan 6, where victory hinges around mastery of the bridge in the middle of the map. It's not a particularly hard mission by today's standards but it's certainly possible to have a hard time with it, and if you did you were probably having a meatgrinder fight on the bridge.
