BFP,

Are hexes with map drawn PB assumed to have a trench in their hex as well as any connecting trench in an accessible hex when there is a tiny bit if trench art in the PB hex? So hex E11 does that PB have a trench in itself as well as the trench in E12? The artwork in E11 seems to suggest yes, but this could be just that art and aesthetics. While rule 7.0 does not make clear enough* if such hexes (E11 with its little bit of art) are trenches too...E11 is bunker b/c of the E12 artwork...and so matches rule 7.0 in this regard. But 7.0 does not solve the issue whether the bunker is also formed by the little in hex snippet of trench.

Thanks.

Andy

There is no trench, per se, in the hex with the on-map pillbox. The intent was to leverage that part of the B30.7 Bunker definition which states, "and/or in a hex Accessible to a Trench counter's hex". The presence of the snippet of trench in the PB's hex is for artistic/aesthetic purposes only.
