B 6.4, B12.424, and G13.7 Scaling

[Brian W]

In order to scale a bridge/building/pier, must you start in the bridge/building/pier location?

The reason I ask is that a unit cannot be under a stone pier, so I am wondering if a stone pier cannot be scaled (which would seem odd).

I think B23.424 has your answer. In order to scale a Cliff must you start in the Cliff Location? No, you start adjacent. However, to scale a Pier you would either have to be on a water craft or in a enterable water location. And of course you would need to be a commando.

What about scaling a stone pier from an adjacent beach location? Such as in this example...

Reepicheep that looks just fine for me and the 88mm of death waiting for you to try it!

B6.4 states that to scale the unit must be in the Bridge hex, but as a unit may not enter a Stone Pier's lower location (G13.73) this makes it impossible...

However the scaling rules refer to b23.424 so that should be ok.
