All about Lumberyards

To my knowledge, there are only TWO lumberyard locations in the ASL system: hexes 24Q5 and Q6. There's a cute little lumberyard there, nestled at the bottom of a valley between a hedgerow and some buildings.

These hexes are discussed in B23.211, and are nearly identical to buildings--and in fact are a rules sub-case of the single-story house (23.21). So I made the following table for myself to see how exactly they differ.

Looking over this thing, I'm thinking that the lumberyard is a great place to put your mortar. You can fire the thing, get a good terrain benefit, and even though you're in a valley, who cares? Height Advantage is NA for mortar fire! (Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.)
