RE: A major river case to think about
No, it is not "non-sensical," it is a simple way to handle "edge cases" that will not often occur and thus avoiding more complicated rules to cover something that rarely happens or to have rarely used specific counters for such. Wargame design is often a case of what Bob Segar sings: "what to leave in , and what to leave out."
The rule, like so many other rules if used solves the situation: the German tank simply cannot enter the hex. And..., in sitting in the hex next to the enemy unit, he can fire on it with the +2 modifier. Otherwise you would need rules to handle "non-assault same-hex direct fire combat." If you think this whole situation through, it is a distinction without a difference.
To try to address every perceived realism-edge-case is how you end up with the Advanced Squad Leader rulebook.
