By the book, I think F6 and F7 are orchard hexes and G7 is crag. The hexside is a orchard/crag mix, though we are left with the odd cardboard reality where the orchard found its way to the lower-cliff portion of F6/F7 (within the serrated symbol).In summary : Orchard extends along the cliff (0 base level) to the hexside ; Crag extends along the cliff (0 base level) to the hexside.
The hex is a mix of 1/2 level Crag and 1 level Orchard...
Do I get it right?
Now, there is the situation when the Orchard is out of season...
That is why I wrote of "ASL (bio)physics" hereabove.Perhaps this is a plausible reality (I don't know how orchards grow!). However, it strikes me as weird.
Rather than introduce house rules which will, in their turn and special situations, seem as weird as the original ones, I prefer to follow the latter - and admit that ASL is a giant WW2 Wonderland.
As long as you know where the Iron Crosses grow, you'll be allright.Perhaps this is a plausible reality (I don't know how orchards grow!).
I will play as no hindrance below the base level.. Ie not blocked.. A Cliff black area is not a normal hill depiction and IMO it doesn't has any level.. The hill colour is on the other hex and I think only colored hill areas define a level.Hi all,
Orchards are in Season. Is there a LOS between F6 and G8 (see attached)?

Thanks!
Do you play as hindrance if the LOS is from level one to level one?I will play as no hindrance below the base level.. Ie not blocked.. A Cliff black area is not a normal hill depiction and IMO it doesn't has any level.. The hill colour is on the other hex and I think only colored hill areas define a level.
G11.85 specifically states that "Smoke si above all Cave counters in that hex" and "..does not affect LOS to/from those caves". So I don't catch your point..Where I find this very annoying is for caves. A cave across the F6/G7 hexside will be affected by SMOKE both in F6 and G7. The SMOKE in F6 places a razor-thin layer of SMOKE over the hexside, assuming the SMOKE rises from the lower level....

I missed that. It is a bit surprising as the SMOKE exists across the lower part of a crest line, but apparently even though LOS through that lower part of the hex traced from a cave in another hex would be hindered, LOS from a cave in the hex would not. Rules trump geometry, I guess.G11.85 specifically states that "Smoke si above all Cave counters in that hex" and "..does not affect LOS to/from those caves".
This must be the conclusion of the threadRules trump geometry, I guess.
YesDo you play as hindrance if the LOS is from level one to level one?
