8.0
"...Bombardment Fire is similar in that it affects the whole hex and at least one enemy unit in the target hex must be spotted, but either the firing unit OR a friendly leader can spot the enemy for Bombardment Fire."
As a result, the spotted marker, which removes the benefit of being in limiting terrain, only makes it possible for the leader or bombarding unit to see the target beyond normal spotting range.
Exactly right. Maybe I did not explain well beforehand, but 8.0 in hand with the second part of 8.23 means the UNIT is Spotted normally.
One other important point here. Notice the Recon unit can only Extra-Spot one UNIT and not a hex. Now for Bombardment and DF theat makes little difference when the effects are applied BUT for AP, firers would only be able to see the one unit.
That also means that only the unit needs to get itself unspotted and not all the occupants of the hex.
