Adjacency between 1-level Multi-story Building hex unit and 0-level Clear hex unit.

[Stefano G.]

Hello,
i have a doubt about adiacency between 1-level Multi-story Building Hex and 0-level No-Building Hex (Clear Hex, for example):
i already know that , from 10.2, "units in adjacent hexes but on different levels of a Multi-story Building(s) ARE NOT considered adjacent and don’t have LOS to each other", ... but what about if the o-level unit is NOT in the same Multi-story Building of the 1-(Upper) Level adjacent enemy unit and , for example, is in an outdoor clear/road/brush/wodd... adjacent Hex instead?

Are such units considered adjacent for auto-spotting?
Are such units considered adjacent for DFT modifier of +2?

Thank you

I've always played that units on upper level are not adjacent to units on level 0 unless they are in the same hex.
But I think has come up before and Jeff rules that they are adjacent. Try searching through this forum I'm sure the conversation is there somewhere.

Unless I am not understanding your question correctly, the answer is in 10.4.1 second bullet point:

"Units in a separate building or a non building hex (including within a bunker or cave) adjacent to a hex containing a multi story building are considered adjacent to units in both levels of the building, and vice versa. "

Yep, that is the correct rule
