A question regarding night and bypass

[morgan kane]

A MMC uses bypass at ground level in a building hex within the NVR of a firer, also at ground level. Is there a night LV hindrance DRM in that case? Rule E1.7 mentions the target hex not the target location. Shall one understand that even though the MMC never enters the building, bypassing will be enough to deny the defender the night LV hindrance DRM? If so I assume that a unit moving from one rowhouse hex to another will also not get the night LV hindrance DRM in the vertex before entering the new rowhouse hex.

A unit in bypass is still in the same location with the bypassed obstacle. If that obstacle is of sufficient height, the night LV hindrance won't apply.

Note that, depending on the circumstance, the night LV hindrance might apply to one firer and not another. If the unit is in bypass of a level one-and-a-half building, a firer at level zero will not get the night LV hindrance but a firer at level one will. It is not the case that the night LV hindrance will *never* apply to a bypass unit because it depends on the height of the firer relative to the terrain in the target hex.
