hexside combat modifiers suggestion/discussion

[Xerxes77]

That is not quite right. Hexsides DO affect melee in these games (if that is what you mean by ' assault' ), as long as the hexside has a nonzero modifier. This leads to the situation in ACW games:
- either streams have no effect on any combat (as in the post from krmiller, where the stream has no effects)
- or they do have effect - when a modifier is set -, but then they also affect fire attacks (which seems strange for shooting over a stream).

I see, yes melee is the equivalent of an assault in SB but it does seem to work differently then. Apologies for the confusion.
