B11.2 provides the rule on LOS for cliff hexsides.
11.2 The serrated edge of a cliff is no more of an obstacle to LOS traced along that hexside than the elevation level it separates from the higher hill hex. For LOS purposes, the black art depiction of a Depression cliff is treated as part of the Depression artwork.
So, the LOS is clear in the following example.
But, is it clear or blocked in the next example below?
In a recent game my opponent (for a similar cliff on a different map) stated it was blocked (and we played it that way because I couldn't really understand 11.2), but I think it is clear. His justification that it is blocked is that B11.2 states "... LOS traced along that hexside..." and this LOS is not 'along that hexside'. My understanding is that if the LOS doesn't cross the dark brown (stays within the serrated black part of the cliff, that it is clear to the same level hexes.
Is there a rule, Perry Sez, or general consensus on if the LOS is clear or blocked?
Thanks,
Brian
