Sam,

It makes some 'common sense', but makes no sense with regard to how to apply 
the rules. 

eg: Facing the enemy, a tank moves into bp up alongside the left side of a 
building.
 A wall is infront of the tank, and extends to the vertex just off its left front
 fender.  The hexside parralleling  the Left side of the tank is wide open.
 At what point do we judge that 
shots coming
from the front, front left, then directly from the left, 'cross' the wall vertex?

It seems awfully arbitrary, as again, shots coming from the left side
 (and indeed the
 rear)  are still traced to the same 'walled' vertex in front of the 
bypassing vehicle.

Is there any rule that explicitly states how to use a wall for a vehicle in bp?
