LOS tool and bridges over gullies

[Chris Earls]

Playing tonight with Nate and we noticed what I think is an error with the LOS tool.  It appears that the LOS tool thinks the bridge in the screenshot blocks LOS.   LOS from the Panzer III to the bridge hex was not blocked;   but from the Pz III to hex AA5  circled in red showed as being blocked, with the bridge hex being the point that the LOS line changed color.   There's nothing in the rules that says anything about bridges blocking LOS, so this seems to be an error in the LOS tool?  No biggie, we agreed that the Pz III had LOS to the hex circled in red. Just FYI.

The LOS is clear, bridges (in CROSS OF IRON) do not block LOS nor provide a TEM.  Treat as a road hex (Exception: units underneath).

RULE

80.41 A gully hex containing a bridge (EXAMPLE:5EE2) is considered a road hex, not a gully hex, as long as the bridge is operable. Units moving beneath a bridge counter are considered still in the gully, however.

80.411 ...Fire against units on the bridge is not affected by the bridge. A bridge is considered “Vehicle in Other” for purposes of direct fire TO HIT procedure.
