Hills

[accard]

Are standard hills allowed to be placed as compulsory terrain pieces?

The PBS chart specifies a number of rough/open areas and/or a number of difficult pieces.

Hills count as good going - but are not the same as open areas(flat ground clear of any terrain)

That would suggest hills can only be chosen as optional terrain items.

However p 68 of the rulebook has an example where the Romans choose a normal hill as their compulsory terrain piece.

So should the PBS chart be amended from rough/open areas to rough/good going areas?

Or am I missing something?

The hills aren't alive with the sound of answers.

Anyone help out here?

Given the example includes a gentle hill, I think it is difficult to argue against allowing them as a compulsory item.  The PBS chart should say rough/good going/open area.

Note that terrained hills are special items so can only be selected as optional items.
