If a board with printed Crags (ie, not Hammada-turned-Crags) is specified as having Broken Terrain, do the non-Depression Open Ground hexes accessible to those "pre-existing" Crags become Broken Ground hexes?

Question already sent to MMP, but curious what y'all say. FWIW, the VASL version of bd 25 does not treat hexes Accessible to "pre-existing" Crags this way; we might have to change that, depending on the answer here.

Old Q&A said no...

F13.1 If a SSR specifies that Broken terrain exists
on a Desert Board all hammada hexes become
crag hexes that are also Half-Level Obstacles
surrounded by Broken Ground. If this occurs on
board 25, which includes both hammada and crag
hexes, does this mean there are two types of crag
in such a scenario, regular and transformed, or are
all crag hexes treated as above?
A. Yes. No. [Letter217]

When that rule was writ, Board 25 existed. Letter of the rule would be "pre-existing" Crags are not mentioned and thus are not affected re the Hammada-turned-Crags-related terrain transform.

Given that Board 25 is the only official desert board w/Crags, it's maybe more elegant than code to simply paint a duplicate of that image for Broken Ground -- as and when some official scenario makes that a thing?

Specifies what happens to Hammada hexes...not to crag hexes.
