Why can't I assault this hex?

Trying to assault hex 19,4 in the 0611_03: Le Hamel - The Salient but keep getting an error message that my infantry can't enter the hex. I get the error message that "Unit cannot enter hex" but from 19,5 there shows to be no hindrance and from 20,3 there is only a low wall.

Well I tried to copy and paste the image but obviously that didn't work so you can go back and read the edit.

It's an embankment so they might need to be 'on foot', if they're motorised, I mean? You probs know that already.

So why doesn't it show it as an embankment? Am I supposed to get that from the rail hex because none of the hexside info showed that.

From the pic, I believe. But did it work to go on foot?

I am new at this series however, have you tried putting your unit(s) in Travel mode, if they can't advance while deployed?

In scenario #0611_03: Le Hamel - The Salient the hex (19,4) is a village Brouay with a RR running through it. If you zoom in you can see the RR embankment is raised like in Kursk.

The Green Howards start in the northern part of this scenario. They are foot infantry. they can enter Brouay.
If your infantry (foot) is assaulting stacked with armor then it is the armor the error message is referring to and not the foot infantry.

Send me the game file if you are still having trouble with this assault.

I just got the game today. Ran some tests.

There are several hexes like that and it appears to be an elevated RR line.

You can only enter them by following the elevated RR in travel mode. I was moving the German units positioned in that area. You have to follow the RR until the RR is no longer in the elevated mode. That is, you cannot just move off the elevated RR line where you want to. This applies to infantry, artillery, and vehicles. You can also have only one unit in travel mode on the elevated RR. No stacking allowed.

If you put the infantry unit in foot mode it can move into the hex from any direction and stack with another unit.

I just looked at the information box and it shows elevation as 50+5m - my guess is that the 5m is the height of the elevated RR.
