Map 15 and terrain rules? |

If I have blocks in the hex on map 15 that contains the word Azyna at the start of my turn, are they on the road or not?

What I cannot determine by the rules is if we must keep track of if we entered on a road the prior turn in these cases.

It seems that if I entered from Farrell with ground units one turn, I could cross the river without a bridge the next turn by moving upwards, since the hexside that I'm wanting to cross in that case is clear/coastal and the entire issue with the bottom of that hex has no impact on my move upward.

What do others think about this? Am I missing something obvious?

Hmmm. I'm thinking non-amphibian ground units in the center of the Azyna river hex cannot use the road.

Therefore if units from Farrell that move into the hex using the road cannot cross the river into the center of the hex. One reason is that Clear/Coastal terrain only involves sea or lake not river.

However, does this mean units on the road can't battle units in the center of the hex? Share a hex? Perhaps attack strength is halved for battling across a river.

Man, I can see how multiple terrain on the same hexside can cause confusion.

That looks like a mistake. Rivers are supposed to be hexside terrain, so anything on the other side of the river should belong to a different hex. I'd actually treat the road as running through the forest hex to the south.

Okay, that sounds good.

Or another "fix" could be not to have the road at all. From the west, the Hahn forest might encourage the scenic route to Farrell (for non-forest folk ground units of course).

Thanks guys.

I have found a few other such issues on maps, but they are pretty good overall: I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious
