LoS question

Actually, that observing German officer is in a dug-in position on the 60-meter height would be in limiting terrain if the game is being played with this house rule, that originated in older PG rule sets:

Dug In Units are Automatically in Limiting Terrain in Desert Games — Unless prohibited by special scenario rules, ALL units that are dug-in ON SLOPE HEXES are considered to be in limiting terrain and are only spotted if enemy units approach to within 3 hexes, or 4 hexes for reconnaissance units – unless they are marked with a spotted marker, see 8.22)

So, only the hapless US Major is spotted, not the observing German officer on the hilltop.
