Hedges along Sunken roads

[Philippe D.]

Board 55 has some hedges bordering Sunken roads. My understanding is that a unit in Crest status in such a Sunken road can claim Wall Advantage over such a hedge (as per B9.6 Hillside Hedge/Wall), is this correct? (I don't think Bocage rules would change the answer; the board sure does look like one where Bocage rules would be a perfect match, but the scenario I have in mind doesn't use Bocage)

B20.91 states that "Infantry in Crest status are considered entrenched one level higher than the Depression against all Direct fire attacks across any of the front three hexsides of that Depression hex (as identified by placement of the Crest counter) which are not crossed by a Depression hexside."

B9.32 precludes WA for units "under an entrenchment counter".

So I think that a unit in crest status cannot claim WA.

It is allowed.

B9.62:
"...A unit in Crest status may claim Wall Advantage over a Hillside wall/hedge that forms a hexside of that unit’s hex only if both are at the same elevation and on the same side of the Depression..."

See also the example to this rule.

Thanks Klas.
So it was clearly written in the rule.
