Why does a garden hedge block LOS and a 10 stone wall doesn ?
CF4.4 Feature Capacity/Protective Cover, Subsection Bocage/Hedges/Walls, p. 5 CF6.6 Direct Fire Prohibitions/Blocked Fire, p.12 CF4.4 and the Quick Reference Sheet make it clear that: • Bocage is impassable to vehicles, block LOS, and provide protective cover. • (Normal) Hedges block LOS and provide protective cover. • Walls just provide protective cover. Attempting to second guess Arty is a bit problematic, but some people believe that Hedges/Walls represent different heights/strengths of linear obstacle rather than different materials. Tying the height/strength to a particular type of feature (Hedge/Wall) simply makes it easier for table top recognition. With this in mind: Wall = Low/small walls and hedges – that delay movement and provide protective cover but don’t block LOS. (Really flimsydecrepit obstacles wouldn’t be represented on the table at all, e.g. a wooden fence.) Hedge = High/solid walls and hedges possibly with associated earth bank and/or ditch – that delay movement, pr
