Actual game situations in Oz Bay Breakout. I think this has been cleared up with errata/rules updates, but not on the Chapter B terrain chart for orchards.
So I'm asking for clarification:
a) A unit on a rooftop is at level 1.5, so according to A6.4 has LOS over a level 1 in-season orchard hex (or a level 1 woods obstacle), but with no reduction in blind hexes (A6.42). So a target 20 hexes away with an intervening woods hex 16 hexes away would be out of LOS (1 'natural' blind hex +3 for over 15 hexes of range to the obstacle, 4 blind hexes, blocked).
b) However, the rooftop unit is greater than one level higher (1.5 levels, in fact) than the base level of an out-of-season orchard hex 16 hexes away, which means there is not a hindrance to a target 20 hexes away (4 'blind' hexes generated as a shadow by the orchard 1 level hindrance 16 hexes away), by dint of B14.2. This according to the rule, but not the terrain chart, which still states 'Max Hind. +1 with 2 level advantage.' This because divider charts aren't updated for rules changes.
Are the statements in both of the above paragraphs a) and b) correct? thanks.
