Hi
a few lists quote Hidden Obstacles to be used to defend a river against boats.
I have not understood how these work.
Any boat reaching them would count as being in difficult terrain (P16) but this is not a combat disadvantage for naval elements (P37).
Is this an oversight or have I missed something?

I think you are right, except that it makes them impetuous (last bullet of para 1, p30, "...crossed a hidden obstacle this bound ...).
Not sure if boats in a river would be impetuous anyway: are they "in" the river, or merely "on" it?
