Question:
May LVTs and the units they carry treat narrow straits hexsides as river hexsides, as per Rule 14J2? Background to Question: Such a crossing was part of the historical battle of Walcheren Island.
Answer:
The rules as written don’t grant any special ability to LVTs for narrow straits hexsides. This was done for simplicity. Unlike LVTs’ ability on lake and major river hexsides, in the case of narrow straits hexsides, sea conditions come into play.
You can use the following option for LVTs: Under calm and rough sea conditions, an LVT may treat narrow straits hexsides as river hexsides. Under stormy sea conditions, it cannot do so.
