Villages and Line of Sight
« on: July 08, 2013, 04:02:03 PM »
Had a question come up on yesterdays game.

I wanted to fire my Rock Lobber at some enemy infantry in a village. My opponent said i could only see 2cm into the village, and villages use the same rules as woodlands for both combat and line of sight.


We looked for it, but couldn't the answer, so rather than slow the game down we played it his way (villages block LOS the same as woods 2cm vision, you need 5's to hit infantry inside a village) He is probably correct, but i'm just checking

That is how I would play it. However.... it does depend a bit on the way the scenery is prepped. A fixed footprint and/or clearly denoted edge would create the ruling above, but separated buildings..... there I would use actual LOS
