Spotting question

[Steven Smith]

hi folks, just a quick one. Do I need to make a spotting attempt to units in a foxhole in an open terrain hex ?

Hi Steven,

I'd say no they don't need to be spotted. If you look at the TEC it says that Foxholes are of the same terrain type as the hex they occupy. So, if they're in a building hex, they'd be blocking and would need spotting. So my intuition says if they're in an open hex they don't need to be spotted.

Hope that helps.

No. There is provision in the rules about bunkers needing to be spotted (21.1.1). There is no such thing for foxholes
