The LOS from X10 to BB9 crosses the Z9/Z10/AA10 vertex (see the white circle in the image).

The Hindrance DRM for the Palm Tree hex AA10 is +1.

Is there an additional Hindrance DRM of +1 (for a total Hindrance DRM of +2) for the Palm Tree hex Z9, because of crossing the vertex of it?

The LOS from 13863

This vertex is also included in the “Full” AA10 hex.. so no added DRM.. if AA10 where not a hindrance hex, then it would add the +1 for Z9.
Is similar to a LOS traversing a hexside between two palm hexes.. only +1 is added, not +2.. why would be different for a hex spine?

I think both hexes contribute to a +1 Hindrance for a +2. They are not at the same range.

This from A6.7:
"Whenever a LOS crosses (or goes along the shared hexside of) two hexes that have the same range to the firer, however, only the LOS Hindrance of the hex with the highest applicable LOS Hindrance DRM is counted."

...does not seem to apply here - as the two hexes are not at the same range, and the LOS does not go along a shared hexside.

Does it? The LOS between X10 and BB9 should go through the midpoint of the Z9-Z10 hexside. Not through the Z9/Z10/AA10 vertex.

Had the LOS gone through the vertex (as Klas explained), the Hindrance would be +2 (+1 for Z9 and AA10). As it passes through the Z9-Z10 hexside, the result is the same.

Oh. Wrong example. But if the LOS would cross the vertex, it would be a +2 DRM. Right?
