Reply: Combat Commander: Europe:: Rules:: Re: Map 8 - LOS - Hills, Hedge and Obstruction

by RPardoe

I assume this was the LOS in question:


Hedge if not adjacent to the firing hex or the target hex would normally be an obstacle and block LOS. Therefore, the relevant section of the rules is T88.4 Hills & Obstacles which indicates that only obstacles at the same (or higher) elevation blocks LOS. Obstacles at lower elevation (such as here) do NOT block LOS.

There is an exception for blind-hexes (T88.4.1) but only WOODS and BUILDINGS create blind hexes.

So unless the hedge is at the same (or higher) elevation to the hill, would the LOS be blocked.
