In this scenario what level are the off board hill hexes along the Allied entry edge?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks. That should be SSRed and added to errata. Makes a big difference on how fast the Allies can enter on the hill. It's a fun scenario with some great maneuver opportunities.

I assume that in most cases, since you do not cross a crest line by moving from offboard you pay the regular 1MF cost to enter an hex. In some cases, there is a crest line crossed from lower location so regular elevation change costs apply. Is there really a need for an errata? It looks vanilla rules to me.

A2.51 does not define the level of offboard hexes. By q&a it is level zero (unless W1.1 applies). A crest line is defined as a place where two hexes meet that are at different levels [b10.11]. From what I understand this scenario has entry hexes at different levels. By following the rules and q&a, it would seem that entry to those hexes would gain elevation from level zero to the hex level.

Ok, let's add that : The terrain features in hexes East of row W on board 71 and of row C on board 81, exist for offboard mouvement / Board entry purpose only.

Somebody knows a better wording for this SSR ?

There are standard SSR for such cases......you can find them in many official scenarios.
