light woods and LOS

[t1M0t8yk]

  I have questions about the LOS rules for light woods.  Is my understanding of the following correct?

1)  For units at the same elevation two light woods always block LOS; i.e., the light woods hexes need not be adjacent.

2)  For units at different elevations two light woods block LOS only if they are both at the same or higher elevation as the higher unit.

 Please advise if there are other considerations that I have perhaps not perceived regarding light woods and LOS.

My two cents... This could become really difficult if you start treating Light woods, that give a hindrance, like normal woods that create shadow.

So, my answers to your questions would be :
1) Correct
2) Light woods hindrance is considered only if the light woods features grow on the same level as the higher unit.

Of course (2) is not realistic but it is easy to play with.

  Thanks, Leonard.  I agree that point 2 is easier to apply, but this interpretation is inconsistent with the following thread I found:

  Based on this thread, 2) becomes:

  "For units at different elevations, two light woods may block LOS only if they both grow at the same or one level lower than the higher unit."  Note also if the light woods closer to the lower unit grows at one level lower it must be closer (not equidistant) to the lower unit.

P.S.  I like your wording.  "Woods grow at..." avoids some confusion I had with the nomenclature Hugmenot uses.
