1.
Rolling Terrain. When sighted from ground level, third hex blocks LOS. When either firer or target is on a Hill, Rolling terrain doesn’t block LOS.
2.
Creates one hex shadow immediately behind terrain when sighted from a Hill.
3.
Only if attacked exclusively from a lower elevation. Blocks LOS between units on ground level or if either target or firer is on ground level and the LOS passes through a
crest side that does not form a hex side of the other’s hex. If both firer and target occupy a Hill hex, LOS is only blocked by Forest, Town, or City hexes that are also on a
Hill.
4.
I3, J2, and K2 represent both a forested Hill and the tunnel that runs beneath in a straight line. Mark units in the tunnel with an “In Tunnel” marker. LOS can be traced
through the tunnel only via a straight line that coincides with the tunnel. For example, LOS is clear between M1 and F4. LOS is blocked between N1 and H3. LOS is also
blocked into the first hex of the tunnel from any other angle other than a straight line. For example, LOS is blocked from F3 to I3, but not from G4 to I3.
5.
A bridge negates the River hex side.
