[Rules] 4th Edition rules are up

[Brett Nicholson]

Honestly, concerning hills in any ruling is sure to irk someone one way or the other; old rules, new ones or house rules. Also, geographically hills differ -not all hills are smooth, clear, lightly grassy and very broad slopes; in that case, perhaps somewhere in Southern England they may be like that and those types I would not consider limiting terrain but would block LOS and provide a spotting bonus. However, in the desert and in many other places hills can have varying slopes, be very uneven ground, rocky, craggy and provide a lot of cover to hide units. Also, in hills like those I believe that both sides would recieve a (-1) defensive modifier, not just those on higher elevation but on the same level as well. Of course the (-1) for the defender in assaults on higher levels would still apply. Also never thought that units on separate hills but same elevation would be able to spot each other unless one or the other fired. But I have adapted to those older rulings in my shared matches with Vince and Wayne.
