Blocking/Degrading Terrain

[Jams F. Jones]

Is Blocking and Degrading terrain graphic considered whole hex when checking LOS?

 

[Stéphane Tanguay]

Usually not, and this is why the text mentions silhouettes. There might be exceptions mentionned in the TEC (such as smoke) and there is one exception in the current edition rules manual for LOS traced along hexsides (see 10.3.2). This exception will be somewhat modified in V5 of the rules by applying a penalty, when LOS is traced between separate buildings/huts.
