Welcome. Had to LOL at the notion of a "quick" LOS question in PG. Smile

A-C: spotted & LOS. C is in limiting terrain, but within three hexes and one hex of light woods does not block LOS.

A-D: target in limiting terrain; within three hexes, but there are two hexes of light woods intervening, one at 40-m (0704) and one at 20-m (0703). The viewer is at 20-m and the target at 0-m. I would read 3rd Ed rule 8.36 as suggesting LOS is blocked as neither unit is HIGHER than the lower of the two light woods.

A-E: target in clear at 0-m, but two hexes of 20-m and one of 40-m light woods intervene. As the spotter is at 20-m, I would interpret 8.36 as above.

I should say in fairness that there might be alternative interpretations here (for which the game is somewhat notorious), but this is my $0.02. Also note: http://www.pg-hq.com/annotated-rules.php#Rule8.0

B-C: LOS and spotted

B-D: LOS and spotted

B-E: LOS is blocked by two hexes of light woods at 20-m and neither unit is higher.

All above assumes DF or AT fire. In 3rd Ed., there was a notion that one can spot for BF from the height of the trees, so that BF arising from 0705 would spot from effectively 40-m (and could see 0701).

I think that 4th Ed. precluded that by the wording regarding spotting from towns (woods being conspicuously absent) at extended elevation, but :Confusedhrugs::
