Light woods

[Shad]

What I find strange is that when the target is in it, it is in limiting terrain and can only be spotted from 3 hexes. Yet, if the target is behind it, in an open hex, but covered by the whole of the light wood hex, then, despite the +1 DF advantage, you can still see these guys from 12 hexes away.

I haven't looked at the Light Woods rules in a long time. Is this really true? That would be a glaring oversight in my opinion and should be corrected to something akin to the hedge rules (the sane ones, not the crazy version).
