You "furthermore" point led to the VC question a few weeks ago. Yes, a truck moving into a town hex with a slope line, from a different elevation, would pay 3 MPs.
Although I have played this way too, the road rule (5.2) does say to "pay the road movement cost on the TEC, not the cost of the terrain in the hex." So then, what is the slope cost? is it "cost of terrain in the hex?"
Is this a hole in the rules?
