No.  If the bridge is not the target, and if you're deliberately *not*
targeting the AFV, what exactly *are* you targeting?  You can't attack an
empty hex just for the hell of it in DFF.

If you're attempting to target the AFV (which is legal), you won't leave any
residual (since only the designated target can be affected).
