I just checked out this board in VSQL and it seems to me that the woods in O5 have two separate pixels of green to the left of the LOS, thus making the LOS blocked. Perhaps Board 4 has been corrected in VSQL since this thread? (I downloaded the boards just about a week ago.) Also, doesn't the grain field block the LOS in any case?
