Please clear up the bit about hill hexes. Please!

I would like to see something along the the lines of ...

Barring other terrain features, two units at the same level, and on the same hill, are not in limiting terrain with respect to each other. LOS between these units is limited normally by terrain and visibility. Units at the same level do not receive the -1 DF column shift for firing at each other.

There's something else you might want to consider. What would happen to a unit on a lower level hill when fired on by a unit at a higher elevation? Nothing if the target was at level 0. No hill modifier for him. Yet, raise both units each exactly one level higher, while maintaining the relative elevation between them. Behold, the target now gets a favorable column modifier. What's up with that?

Just my 2¢.
