Enter, exit, and Vehicle changes in terrain next to a marsh question

[Chipwert]

All,
Does a fully tracked AFV have to roll bog to exit a hex next to a marsh hex? Does it have to roll to change VCA? To leave?
Thanks

I think that a Bog check is only required upon entry of a hex adjacent to Marsh.
See B16.43.

Thanks for the reply. I think my confusion comes in a "bog hex" not being fully defined.

Here are the rules that define bog in hexes next to marsh:

B16.43 BOG: Any ground level or level -1 hex adjacent to a marsh/mudflat hex is a Bog hex requiring a Bog Check of any vehicle entering it along a nonroad hexside [EXC: 16.8].

D8.2 ... A vehicle must make a Bog Check as dictated by the Terrain Chart for entering, or exiting or making any VCA change (one Bog DR per hexspine) in, certain terrain types termed Bog hexes.

So the terrain chart does not say anything about the hex adjacent to marsh hexes as being "bog hex" neither in the marsh rules or as a separate entry. Here again we are given the term Bog hex which is (in my mind) not adequately defined in the index nor in the rules.

Thanks again and any thoughts?

I think that "entering" restricts the conditions of application of the Bog check.
Exiting and VCA change would be excluded because of that precision.

Thanks, ya that is how we played it but it could maybe be a bit clearer. I find there are times when they use a term but don't fully define it and sometimes used very casually.
