Hello all,

I scoured the board here to find if there was already a clarification on this as well as reading through all my scenario books and the rules on hexspine spotting and could not find a definitive answer. The question is: If a unit is two hexes away from another where the LOS travels along the hexspine, does a hedgerow along that hexspine block LOS, even though both hexes bordering the hexspine are clear?

The specific example is Map 26 from Fall of France and Unit A is in hex 1013 and the unit trying to be spotted is in hex 1213. Assuming daylight hours and no special rule LOS restrictions, is this a spotted unit or not?

Looking at the rules, it sounds like 8.35 handles this but I am not sure as Hedgerows are a scenario rule.

Thanks in advance.

Tony,

LOS would not be blocked anyway with any of the hedgerow rules ?

What it does do is hinder DF shots at the target from either unit.

Tony, in your example the unit looks around the hedge in either side. One LOS blocked by hedges is 0813 to 1311. Hedges in 0913/1012 and 1112/1211 constitute the block according to the FoF SSR.
