4th Ed rules made entry of a gully by a vehicle possible. However, the -20m location ruined the whole thing.
And you have to carefully read the 4th Ed Terrain charts notes to realize it.
Wadi definition in AK/DR: Similar to a Hill, but instead a depression or dried river bed, this terrain makes movement difficult and offers the
defender some defensive benefits.
So clearly not "ground level", but an "anti-hill" with these affects:
- 2 MP for foot, motorized and mechanized prohibited. (More restrictive than the 4th edition.)
- Units occupying Wadi hex may not be spotted by enemy units more than 3 hexes away. (That's actually worse than limiting terrain.)
- -1 to direct fire against target in wadi from range of 2 or more hexes. (A lesser effect than the 4th edition.)
