Hedgerows

Hedgerows
Let me get this straight: The unit behind/adjacent to a hedgerow can see through it with no problem, and a unit can see behind a hedgerow if within three hexes of it AND the unit in question is directly adjacent the hedgerow. Does this mean that a unit can fire from behind a hedgerow, through an open hex (or two) AT another unit directly behind a hedgerow? (Some of the rather contorted terrain in Invasion 44 finds opposing units in this type of terrain.)

RE: Hedgerows
Found a reference to it in "Advanced Rules" for Invasion 44 (Pg 8): "Only units in an adjacent hex may use Antitank or Direct Fire through a hedgerow hex side." Which seems to solve the above post.... but.... it also awards a "-2" for Direct Fire AND seems to negate the entries on the Antitank and Direct Fire charts that mentions a "...target fired at through hedgerow not adjacent to firing unit. (Excuse me while I scratch my head on THAT one.)  Dodgy

I may be misinterpreting the situation; however, in your first post on this thread your one unit would be firing through its adjacent hedgerow (first hedgerow hexside) through a clear hex and then THROUGH a SECOND hedgerow hexside  to hit the defending unit adjacent to that second hedgerow.   The way I Interpreted the hedgerow rules was that the defending unit couldn't be fired Upon because you can't fire across 2 hedgerows ..... only one can be fired across (either as the attacker firing across one they are adjacent to or one that a defender is adjacently behind).     So, if your attacking unit was 2 hexes away and firing through 2 clear hexes and a hedgerow hexside with the defending unit directly behind the hedgerow then the attacker would suffer the -2 column shift.  If they were adjacent to each other, that wouldn't happen.   

Now, I could be totally messed upon this ..... and I don't have my charts and rules in front of me.   So, I need to go and double check this all again when I can.   Lol ?       However, for now, this is how I have been playing those situation in my recent Airborne scenarios.      Does this help any?

I always found the diagram in this thread handy, as I have to reteach myself hedgerows whenever I pick up a module with them. Although some of the specifics do change module to module as the hedgerows can represent different types of hedges.

RE: Hedgerows
Thanks for the info. I had decided to play the way it had come across in the thread referenced. (Until someone changes my mind, at any rate.)

RE: Hedgerows
A couple of those have me scratching my head. But I can see where to maintain consistency one would have to "take the good with the bad". So that looks to be the best set of solutions. Thank for the input.
