Concealed unit opens fire on enemy and is now visible.
Can the unit be seen by :
1. any enemy unit that moves into line of sight during the turn, or
2. is unit only visible to units who can see at the moment it fired?

No.1

Thanks Pete

So does the same apply to units that move in subsequent turns,who were unable to see when the unit revealed itself,or would the unit be hidden to them?

What i am trying to say is do units stay visible to anyone on the table who can move to a line of sight until they move and conceal themselves again

I tend to play that once you're visible to a unit, you're visible to all units unless you can do something to break LoS to everything. It just makes it way too complicated to remember who can see what and when IMO. However, I look forward to hearing the official answer to this.

Yes that's the way it should be played, ie: once a unit is visible, it remains that way. As Gavin says, trying to remember who can see who would be a nightmare.

One approach I've started using (and nicked from Keith Flint) is to 'hide' unseen units with lichen until they are visible. That way I can see pretty quickly what is visible and what isn't.

I like the lichen idea. I'll nick that too.

Would units detected/spotted from recce be classed the same,and be visible to all ?

I'm nicking the lichen idea too. Good one.

Gosh - I hope units spotted by Reece aren't then visible to all until they move....or even for the rest of the turn.

Battlefront 1162 and AJ - In a post here about a year ago, Pete indicated that once a unit (stand) is spotted by recce, then anything in the enemy force with LOS to it can also spot it. (Just that one stand, not the whole formation).
