Being a newbie I am not sure if I have the whole LOS thing sorted. In the North Wood scenario I have my guns sited on the following hexes 40, 34 (520ft) 41, 35 (520ft) 42, 33 (490ft) 43, 36 (490ft) and 43, 33 (460ft). In all cases I wanted to fire at Federal infantry in an elevated wooded hex 43, 28 (490ft) but was denied b/c my LOS was supposedly blocked by woods in 43, 29 (460ft). As these woods are below the level of the target hex I thought I should have been able to blow the pants off those people - am I missing something here? The target unit has fired previously so should be spotted.

Lt,
depending on the map youre playing on (Antietam?) the tree heights can vary. In the BG games they were 30ft high (and i think 50 ft in Chickamauga)

Lt. Blair if you click on the icon on the tool bar that looks kind of like a old ships steering wheel, it shows what hexes are visable to the hex you've highlighted. Stop on over to the Southern Raiders for a little more info [:D]
