RE: Air attacks against "hidden" units
3rd edition rules are clear in 15.11 - Aircraft can attack hidden units because they are special units that can attack any hex. This means, empty hexes, hidden units, and spotted units.
1. Remember - Aircraft are UNITS, and specifically per 15.11 Air Attack. "Aircraft may attack any hexes on the board. Each aircraft may attack one hex per turn. The owning player selects the
target hexes and places at least one aircraft in each target hex
2. Aircraft are units, once placed on a hex they have their own spotting ability in the same hex.
3. This rule models the unique aspect of aircraft is that they can conduct "reconnaissance" and "deep strike" on units without being controlled from the ground for close air support.
4. I believe the -1 column mod for hidden units is a fair rule to represent the counter measures of cover/camouflage by a hidden unt.
