This question pertains to the planets found on the map panels that come with Klingon Attack.

1) Is it correct that a hex that even partially contains part of a planet is considered a planet hex?

2) Is direct fire allowed along a hexside that separates a planet hex and a non-planet hex? For example, is direct fire allowed between hexes 1004 and 1106 on the small hex side of the Gas Giant Map Panel that comes with Klingon Atttack?

Please check this Terrain Questions thread. It has the answers to these questions.

Which, oddly enough, is currently the thread immediately below this one ...

Mike -- Thanks. I found it, but it is not easy as the question and your answer are very far apart from each other in that thread. I had previously performed a search of all Rules Question threads using the search function but missed it. I can see why I did. For the lurkers, the answers to my questions are (1) yes and (2) yes.

Just so I can make sure I've wrapped my pee brain around this...

Fire down the hex spine of a planet hex (of any size planet) is open, fire through a planet hex (of any size planet) is not (even if it doesn't touch the 'planet art').

Did I get that right?

Yes.

Any given hex is either "all-planet" or "all-space". (Of course, "all planet" could be an atmosphere hex in the case of the really big planets.)

But, yes, you got it.
