LOS wrecks/smoke? - Hadge - 01-31-2016 Hi All, I came across this earlier ..... The Grenadiers Churchills (red arrow) are trying to fire on the artillery 2 hexs to the east but the message "Line-of-sight is blocked by smoke at (105,20)" as indicated at the bottom of the screen shot. The 102,20 hex (Black circled) contains 12 wrecks and scattered terrain but no smoke - even with FOW off. Is the smoke coming from the wrecks? ... or is this just a LOS blockage because of the intervening scattered terrain and the wrecks? Also .... do wrecks cause a blockage to movement? or an increase in movement point cost to traverse the hex? I can't find any reference to them anywhere in the rules - any insight anybody? Thanks  Chris i RE: LOS wrecks/smoke? - Compass Rose - 01-31-2016 Hey Chris, from PzB Normandy User manual: On page 4 under "Differences with Panzer Campaigns". --Wrecks. Visibility is blocked when more than 7 per hex RE: LOS wrecks/smoke? - Hadge - 01-31-2016 Hi, Thanks again CR ! ..... I'd missed that one ... I think that goes under "When in doubt - read the instructions - thoroughly !" There are lots of little nuggets hidden away in the manual LOL Cheers Chris
