Vince,
I submit there might be a middle case: it is rather different having an artillery observer yell down, flag, or radio communicate from a building or tree who saw that tube's shot land at such-and-such location (being in the same hex albeit in a different spot) and say "25 meters short and left" as compared to a remote observer 1500m away relaying "I saw some shells landing 25 m short and left."
Wonder if 4th Ed will clarify or make explicit this issue? And I claim copyright on "vertically enhanced observer." :-P
