Jux,

Limiting terrain as such does not block LOS - though some types might. So in 3rd Ed., slopes and interior hills allow one to hide/conceal oneself in that hex, but, in principle, the hex itself can be spotted if nothing intervenes. Thus, on an interior hill, but otherwise clear terrain (in 3rd Ed) one could spot and have LoS to hexes three apart; but could not spot, but would have LoS to hexes four or more apart. If one of those units fired, and had a spotted marker placed on it, it could now be seen at ranges of 4+ even in a hill/contour hex as long as nothing intervenes LoS.

Regular woods both allows one to "hide" - Limiting Terrain - but also blocks LoS up to +20m above the baseline height. Two hexes of light woods attain the same effect (that is, block LoS, though light woods is LT allowing one to "hide").

So for example, I can't see one of my neighbors in his otherwise clear front yard because the lot between us is woods (blocks LOS but not in LT). On the other hand, my neighbor across the street can hide in his woods or foliage (in LT) although I can see across the road into his lot (have LoS).

Does that address your question?
