Line Of Sight Procedure (LOS)

This procedure is used to determine if a unit can see a target.

1

Step LOS.10 → Select Origin Corner:

Choose any single corner from the three sides of your unit's hex that form its Front Arc. This is your Origin Corner.

2

Step LOS.20 → Find Target Corners:

Identify all six corners of the target's hex.

3

Step LOS.30 → Draw a Path:

Attempt to draw straight lines from your chosen Origin Corner to the corners of the target hex.

4

Step LOS.40 → Check for Two Clear Paths:

If you can draw unblocked lines to at least two of the target's corners from your single Origin Corner, you have LoS. If you cannot find such a path from any of your Origin Corners, you do not have LoS

Key Clarifications

  • Large & Elevated Exceptions: The conditions for an "unblocked" line change if the unit checking for LoS (the observer) has the 📜Large trait or is on a hex with the Elevated terrain keyword.

    • In either of these cases, intervening hexes are considered Blocking only if they contain either another unit that also has the 📜Large trait or a terrain feature with the Obstructing keyword.

    • All other intervening units (that are not 📜Large) are ignored and do not block LoS for this check.

  • Target's Own Hex: The hex occupied by the target unit itself never blocks to draw LoS to the target.

  • Hexes adjacent to Blocking hex: Even if a Line of sight(LoS) passes along the edge of a Blocking hex, it is not considered Blocked, as long as it does not pass through the hex's interior.

  • Two Units, One Edge: A line of sight is blocked if it passes along a shared edge between two adjacent Blocked hexes.
