But I believe this discounts the effect of holding the higher ground from an attack up hill. So anything down slope would not get the -1 even though the units are on a hill. I also consider firing across the same level not worthy of the -1 as there is no height advantage.
To Mikes point, any SSR's would supersede these rules.
I do not have a dog in this race although I do play RAW. The example I mentioned in KT references the TEC and (nearly) clearly spells out that the -1 DRM for hills apply to most hexes. To me, the KT Hill SSR really isn't unique, but rather a clarification of the existing rule. Frankly, I am in agreement with those who don't use the Hill DRM if the shot doesn't cross an elevation line.
YMMV and that's OK with me.

2,500 years ago people worshiped cats. The cats have never forgotten this!
Direct Fire Table -1 target hex hill (any elevation) modifier!
