**  I have to disagree there, Sam.  It looks to me [consulting the VASL map 
with the tank straddling S3/T3] that the wall T2/T3 applies to fire from S2 
all the way to W3; I think HD would apply also vs fire from V3 and U3, but 
not U4 (per B9.36 EX).  Fire from S1 and T1 pass through T2, and the wall 
is part of T2, so your above statement is incorrect.  If the tank were 
facing the other way, and so at S3/S4/T3 vertex, then S1 and T1 would not 
cross the T2 wall hexside, while in this case U1 and U2 would still treat 
the tank as HD. {in all cases, assuming LOS not otherwise blocked!]
