Guadalcanal Hidden Rule Useless?

[Shad]

Have you played any Guadalcanal scenarios? It's not often that you're going to have so many platoons moving in an unmolested and orderly fashion through the jungle. Case in point, your officers can only control platoons in the same hex. That means at most you're going to be moving 3 platoons in one activation (if you triple-stack). And triple-stacking is just asking for punishment because of the negative modifier you suffer during incoming fire. Also, your math assumes an 8 to 1 force disparity. That is exceedingly rare.

My typical experience with the hidden unit rules is that the JPN stay hidden until they want to reveal themselves, but rarely have a chance to hide a second time during battle.
