[Rules] 4th Edition rules are up

[campsawyer]

I put together a single file from the 2 parts at AP, will go through and do the paragraph numbering to match the new rule book. Hope to have this together before the weekend.

Only question I'm having seems to be similar to others, that centered on the hills. If I read it right, the new edition makes hills more realistic, which I like, having some dead space, hexes on the hills and at ground level where there is no visibility because of reverse slope effect. Don't know if I'm reading into it from all the ASL years of play or if I'm reading it right. That was one of the things I found odd in 3rd edition, that there didn't seem to be any way to take advantage of reverse slope cover. As I learn PG, I have had to unlearn lots of other stuff. Anyway, this doesn't seem to be completely answered in the TEC. As more folks get their stuff, maybe somebody can help sort that out.

Tom,

With the 4th edition you still dont have complete reverse slopes like some other games. All that has been added is that hills by themselves are not limiting terrain and a 1/2 the distance for cover by intervening limiting terrain. My undrrstanding of reverse slopes would require map changes to show which way slopes are going. Best way that PG simulates this is to be behind two slope hexes.
