Russkies in Oklahoma!

Hi Seabolt,

I'm learning from your adventures in Oklahoma too! (Spam master? Good thing I'm a monty Python fan!)

But now for something completely different; the LOS thingie. LOS can sometimes shift a tiny bit. Has to do with rounding off in the code; if the LOS skirts the edges off a couple of wooded hexes for example, do they count as blocking LOS or not? The way the code calculates whether there is a LOS or not can be influenced by the tiniest of effects (0.499 becoming 0.501 so to say).
Can also happen with partial smoke effects. What happens is that each hex has a partial smoke score depending on smoke generating effects taking place in it. When that score gets high enough you see the wispy, barely there, thin smoke appear and as more partial smoke points are generated it gets thicker and thicker.
But it also mean a hex can have a partial smoke score without any visible smoke on the screen yet. Normally that's not a problem but if there are several of such hexes you can lose LOS.
