Remedial Fields Clarification Desired - LOS

[Tambu]

I can't find this stated anywhere in the 4th Edition rules. Maybe I am missing something?

Nope. In the rules, fields are limiting terrain, but do not block LOS.

The people you are playing with are likely thinking of a particular type of field. In Colorado there are field and fields, and still other fields. If you are talking about most grain fields, they are not going block LOS for anyone. Get into a bean field, still not blocking LOS, but easier to hide in. Cornfields, personnel units probably cannot see over them mid-summer, but are never high enough to block someone in a vehicle from seeing over the top. So, there are field and there's fields. Generically, the game isn't too far off.

Hmm, just like that lethal cornfield at Antietam (Sharpsburg) in Sept 1862!
