i'm new to axis & allies miniatures. though i'm a huge fan on the original a & a board game. i don't have any rule books yet. i have been going off what i can find on the internet. does anyone know the ruling on line of sight? if one of my guys is in a hex behind a building and my opponent's piece can see that hex but would technically not have line of sight on my piece were the building actually 3d, could he/she fire on my piece (assuming he/she is within range)?

If the LOS passes through any part of the building hex, it is blocked. You can't see through a forest, town, or hill hex. Does this help?

don't count the hexes that the attacker and target are in when applying LOS, only the hexes between them. forget buildings or trees just go from center dot to center dot and if there are no obstructions of the in between hexes then the units have LOS. don't think in 3D because you will only confuse yourself.
