Throwing this out there for help...
Q1- How do fire lanes work with embanked RR? My reading is that a unit actually on the EmRR could only set up an effective fire lane along such a half level obstacle, and any such fire lane would otherwise only effect half level targets like riders or cavalry. If it leaves the embankment, it would effectively fire over the heads of infantry a half level lower. But what about a MG behind such an obstacle, for example a MG in hex FB NW G34 who wanted to place a fire lane A34. My opponent and I agreed that LOS exists but we couldn't be certain if a fire lane would be permissible beyond the EmRR.
Q2- I believe I read somewhere that a smoke OBA fire mission does not need to take a supplemental chit draw for having only unknown units or units out of observer LOS in the blast area. But I can't find the rule and may be misremembering.
Any help on those would be appreciated, and bonus points awarded for providing the pertinent rules section for future reference.
Thanks!
