Greetings to the Council

Hex 64K7 contains a round wooden structure. Due to the absence of a SSR describing it as a Tower (B34.2), is it to be treated as a single story wooden house?

Yes. I would treat it as a wooden building.

I do not think Towers are invoked by SSR. They exist as Towers, but require an SSR to define their height for the particular scenario. In this case, the terrain is not a Tower as it does not contain a white, square stairwell symbol per B34.1. It would take an SSR to make it a tower, unlike, for example PBC9, which is a Tower.

We had this board recently in "Hell for the Holidays". They might have just forgot the white square, but as printed, it's just some round building...

...or a Gazebo!;)

Sigh. Yes, that was the intention of the guy who did the board (TGWDTB), because he grew up in Ohio and saw plenty of wooden silos. Then the board came out and people asked this very question, because B23.1 says "Any hex containing one or more brown or gray rectangular overview building depictions is a building hex...". This caused TGWDTB no small amount of pain and anguish, as he wondered (and some say, wonders to this day) how Some Things In This World Just Can't Be Simple.

Then I believe Someone Vaguely Connected To MMP spoke up and affirmed the Wood-Buildingness of the hex, and the issue was laid to rest. Until your post :mad:

I think you should have left the artwork at home and just had a rule that any single hex building could be defined as a tower. The roundness or lack thereof, would not affect the rule.

Quite a few round barns. Also could be a round windmill in if in Holland. Perhaps a grain silo as previously mentioned?

The leaning Tower of Pisa?

JR
In fact, I thought about it yesterday when someone said it could be 'any' tower.

Pisa... Hm, maybe something like a merger of a split level building and the Market Place overhang? :D
