I am looking at RPT157 "Ozarks And Frundsbergers" from Rally Point #16, scenario design by Evan E. Sherry.
The SSR says:
The Germans may place one 2-factor anti-tank minefield in one paved road hex on board 53.
On this board, there are plain paved road hexes but also paved Narrow Streets (Village Terrain, B31.142 Mines).
Rules Quotes:
"B31.14 FORTIFICATIONS: Fortifications not normally allowed in a paved road hex may be placed in a hex with ≥ one paved Narrow Street hexside unless prohibited by other terrain in the hex."
"B31.142 MINES: All mines set up in a hex that contain ≥ one paved Narrow Street hexside must be placed on-map revealed (i.e., with the type and strength of that minefield displayed) unless all the Narrow Street hexsides of that hex are also Crest Line hexsides formed by lower-Base-Level hexes. The removal of such revealed mines as per 28.53 is NA. Mines in either of the two hexes common to a Narrow Street hexside (or in both such hexes, if one contains A-P mines and the other A-T mines) can possibly affect a unit using Bypass along that hexside; however, if each such hex contains mines of the same type but of a different strength from that in the other Location, only the higher strength can be used to attack the Bypassing unit. [EXC to both: If that hexside is also a Crest Line hexside, only the mines in the lower-Base-Level hex are used]."
Question:
Are paved Narrow Streets considered a "paved road hex" in the sense of the SSR?
Thanks for your help,
