Agis,

Can you or anyone else recommend the best way to handle bocage? We ran our first game a week ago and how to use them properly stumped us. First, should they be considered Very Diff or Impassable terrain? Second, what type of cove do they provide from arty, armor, and small arms? Third, what type of cover? Hard? Broken LOS? Thanks?

In a nutshell - all up to you and your gaming buddies!  

I would recommend at least Difficult Terrain that provides Hard Cover.

Depending on your terrain pieces maybe even no LOS at all and impassable terrain! US forces sometimes rammed holes in Bocage, added Dynamite and blew it apart, so tough indeed!
