may scale the hill as (x3) rough terrain. The plateau is not accessible east of the town (columns 4 - 5).
1.3. Fords may be found west of the bridge (columns 1- 3). Otherwise, units may cross only by the bridge
1.4. The French se-tup first. None of the IV Corps artillery may be placed initially on the plateau or in the town.
