[ASLML] Bypass problemo

[David Schofield]

Having looked at again I'll side with Bruce only because I think the rule is
making it clear that 2 vehicles can't occupy the same common vertex.  And
it's a mechanic to stop vehicles buggering about between buildings!! :-)
cheers

Hi all

there seems to be 2 differing opinions now. Granted to mr BP that the
rule 
section D2.31 says what it says, but this leaves it still unclear to me 
(apologies to mr BP as I cannot share his simple straightforward 
observation).

now thinking about the actual move in bypass, it happens inside a hex,
along 
A hexside. possibly meant for LOSchecking help, and to clarify the thing
?. 
that I can understand easy. then all residuals, aqquisitions, smoke 
hindrances etc. are taken from the actual hex being bypassed. true the 
hexside is actually common to 2 hexes. but why then you still need to
define 
the actual hex if both are available for Bypass. Why do you measure the 
possibility for Bypass between the obstacle and the hexside, as
following 
the D2.31 you're thought to be driving ramming speed along the exact
hexside 
line.

the Wreck part D10.2 is also talking about wreck in bypass is blocking 
vehicular entrance to A HEX, then refering to D2.31. The problem with
this 
rule is even more obvious in cases where you have Wall between 2
bypassable 
hexes, like 10X6/Y7. if i get AFV or wreck in Y7 bypass location in
X6/Y7 
hexside, do I have to understand this so that I cannot bypass building
X6 
anymore as there is someone on the otherside of the wall??? mighty big
mutha 
that must be.

Cheers!
