Help Needed

Probably the biggest thing to realize is that the terrain in the hex and particularly the hexsides can have a huge impact on your attacks. In the case of the first tutorial for example, terrain effects can reduce the effectiveness of incoming direct fire on the Kraut Corner objective by 100% from all but two of the surrounding hexes. You can lay direct fire on that hex all day and you are not going to get anything but a No Effect result if you try it from any but those two hex sides.

Could you please elaborate on this statement?  I took a look at the first tutorial, and the Kraut Corner objective hex has hedgerows on all six sides.  What is causing the 100% reduction in fire into this hex?  Hedgerows are just 50%, I think, from looking at the parameter data.

What two hexes are you saying are the optimal hexes to attack from?  And, what makes them better than the other hexes when they all have hedgerows?

Also - supplementary question - what does "Secondary" mean in the hex details when you right click on the unit cards? I don't see anything in the manuals about this. There sure is a lot of stuff not explained in either of the manuals.

Thanks!
