How far is LOS within blocking terrain?

Post by roland01 »

The GHQ Modern and WWII micro armor rules state that units outside blocking terrain can
only see a maximum of 1/4" into such terrain and units within blocking terrain must be at the edge of the terrain in order to see units outside blocking terrain. But what is the limit of LOS for opposing units both ocupying the same blocking terrain? Do they have to be in base-to-base contact in order to see and fire on each other when both are in the same feature, such as woods, buildings, etc.?

Same with a Forward Observer: does the FO stand have to be in base to base contact with the intended target when both of them are in the same blocking terrain in order to call down fire on the targeted unit? Risky though that may be if cohesion rolls shift the sheaf onto the FO stand.
