Gentlemen,
I recently played J157 Rage Against the Machine, and encountered for the first time Hill Crest Lines that run right along a Hex Spine.
In light of the rule Precedence Rule (last line in the ASLRB Introduction) I am not sure at all whether the LOS (from D1) to a lower
level (to N1) can be traced along the Hexside Crest Line.
B9.61 … A Hillside wall/hedge (including both its depiction and its associated Hexside; 9.1) is ignored (…) when determining whether
or not LOS exists …
The C1/C2 Hexside will be Level 0 in C1 and Level 1 in C2. B9.61 states that the Hexside is ignored, basically moving the C2 Crest
Line off of the Hexside.
B10.2 … a unit may trace LOS to a lower level only if the higher unit traces it LOS through a Crest Line as it leaves its hex …
The high numbered rule B10.2 stipulates that LOS must cross a Crest Line before leaving its hex, but the C1/C2/D1 vertex
is at Level 1 from the perspective of D1, so there would be no LOS to the lower locations.
At least that is how I would assess the situation. I’d appreciate comments that will clarify this situation for me.
