I read the official answer differently. It does not say it is illegal, it says that it will be handled on a case by case basis by the head ref.

The GDC was not willing to place a line in the sand, but agreed there is a dotted line someplace. Clearly the 4'11" girl is "disadvantaged", but is this a "disability"? Particularly with the tall portcullis, I feel that Stronghold puts many HS girls at a unfair and unnecessary disadvantage, essentially exclude them from consideration as a DRIVER or SPY. Basically the FIRST equivalent of a "glass ceiling".

Personally, I would have preferred they ruled similar to the robot extension of 15"; say allowing a height extension such that the combined DRIVER plus aid did not exceed 6' (pick your favorite statistic for average height of a HS student).
