Hello
I have a question concerning LOS to a SR.
Consider this rule:
1.335. Disregarding SMOKE, if he currently has no LOS to the SR's or FFE's Blast Height nor to any non-Aerial Location in/adjacent-to the SR's hex that contains a Known (to him) enemy unit, he must Correct (1.4) or Cancel (as per 1.336-.337) that SR or FFE; or
I understand this rule to be that you may ignore SMOKE when checking if the observer has LOS to a SR or a FFE. Is this correct?
If this is correct, I don't understand this:
In the OBA flowchart for SR's there is a box early in the SR path that asks if the observer has LOS to the SR.
This box does not differ wheter the LOS is blocked by SMOKE or not.
But, in the FFE path, you may ignore SMOKE when checking for LOS to the FFE.
May someone help me to understand this better? It appear to me to be an inconsistence between the rules and the flowchart regarding the SR LOS when SMOKE blocks the LOS.
