Bypass and Minefield

[TomK]

Given a unit that bypasses a Woods/building hex side that is ADJACENT to a minefield hex; is said unit attacked by the minefield?

 

[Binchois]

A unit is always IN the hex of the obstacle it is bypassing. If a minefield is in an adjacent hex, the unit is not attacked.

 

[mgmasl]

Only if bypassing a narrow street hexside...

A unit is always IN the hex of the obstacle it is bypassing. If a minefield is in an adjacent hex, the unit is not attacked.

EXC: Narrow Streets.

Edit: Just noticed that mgmasl has already mentioned that.

Only if bypassing a narrow street hexside...

Which raises an interesting follow up question: If the narrow street is paved (which they tend to be), are the mines HIP? NRBH at the moment....

"B31.142 MINES: All mines set up in a hex that contain ≥ one paved Narrow Street hexside must be placed on-map revealed (i.e., with the type and strength of that minefield displayed) unless all the Narrow Street hexsides of that hex are also Crest Line hexsides formed by lower-Base-Level hexes. The removal of such revealed mines as per 28.53 is NA. Mines in either of the two hexes common to a Narrow Street hexside (or in both such hexes, if one contains A-P mines and the other A-T mines) can possibly affect a unit using Bypass along that hexside; however, if each such hex contains mines of the same type but of a different strength from that in the other Location, only the higher strength can be used to attack the Bypassing unit. [EXC to both: If that hexside is also a Crest Line hexside, only the mines in the lower-Base-Level hex are used]."
