Terrain benefits

[-72-]

Ok -cool -thanks for adding that last image- then what you have is a terraced set of terrain.  With that you have the opportunity to set up a defense in depth using elevation.

In this case the furthest south set of embankments impact the road ... then the one to the north impacts the hexes behind the road as well.  With embankments - there is no elevation change --so it does not impact line of sight.
