LOS on slopes

[treadasaurusrex]

The example that Col. Sonichu provided, depicts a set of US halftrack units firing from the opposite (lee-side) slopes of a hill at a target that is 4 hexes away on the opposite side of the firing unit's hill mass, and down one contour line, to boot. I don't think that in this circumstance, the firing units have line of sight to the German paras, but I agree that the rule and the examples provided are unclear and confusing.

Maybe I played too much PanzerBlitz s a child, since those map boards were very clear about LOS being blocked by hill crests. The art on PG maps don't differentiate the crests.
