Just downloaded the game this morning and I'm reading the manual now (at work :innocent: ). Quick question from the table on page 15:

Why don't Forests and Woods give a bonus to the Hide Value like Hills and Marshes?

Thanks.

I thought wilderness did. Also walking on frozen great lakes would decrease the hide value in BoA - not sure that has much relevence in AACW though.

Not a big deal but is there any official response on this? Thanks.

Because of unit size and what we decided were woods & forests. A design decision, taking into account the # of men, terrain configuration, lines of sight, etc... a big touchy issue while in beta :indien:

Might be modified later on if too many disagree... :siffle:

Thanks. It's your call of course. I was just wondering if it might have been missed somehow.
