RE: Fields/Brush/Tall Grass curiosity
Fred, the original designer and the developers who revised the rules are no longer active participants on these forums. In other words, we can speculate but not know.
It's easy to create a house rule if you believe this can be improved upon. The hindrance modifier (+1) is not as impactful as., for example, a LOS is blocked if it go through 3-hex fields and the firing unit, fields, and target hex are all at the same level. The scenario you posted on your blog would have played quite differently if fields blocked LOS.
