3ed and 4ed compatibility

RE: 3ed and 4ed compatibility
In general you should be able to play any older modules with the 4th edition rules. I was pretty wedded to 3rd ed, but eventually transitioned and have been happy with the changes.
Quote:Hills were limiting terrain in the 3rd edition, but not in the 4th. Scenarios which used hills to cover an approach will be quite unbalanced now.

I find this can be an issue in the older North Africa games (Afrika Korps and Desert Rats) since many scenarios have the defender on a hill that was considered limiting terrain when they were designed. For some of these I've added a house rule to treat the hill as having rocky terrain on it.
