We had a situation where a Gully and a Hill were next to each. It was agreed, that a unit on the hill had a +2 combat advantage against a unit in the gully. Does that sound right? The hill/gully interface was in the corner of the board, and no combat actually occurred there.

Interesting. Could get same interaction with a hill near a river.

The question is are they both "height advantage" which is the section they are in, but within they seem like separate cases.

The QRS puts these on the same line, but I have found the QRS not determinative.

My image of the situation is not just a height advantage, but the gully causing the hill side to cave in creating crumbling nearly vertical slope.

Surely the combat will occur on one terrain piece or the other. The example seems to assume one unit is still on the hill while fighting the other which is in the gully.

Looking at the rules, these seem to be different line items. +1 for up hill, and +1 for defending against the edge of a Gully.

Seems gamey. So, you have a gully next to a hill, so a kind of continuous slope from the bottom of the gully up to the top of the hill, but there is one point along that continuum where it's really, really hard for the people below? In fact twice as hard as if they were an interval approaching epsilon above or below? Uh huh.

p 65 "Note that a gulley is not the inverse of a hill as there is not height advantage in a gully"

Does suggest you could have both modifiers occurring. Also it suggest the gully is a unique disruptive feature and not a slope.

Can a unit on the hill see into the adjacent Gully or does it have to be withing one MU of the gully edge.
