Does anybody know how the AI artillery circled in red has awareness of my artillery circled in blue? I have never seen the AI use the bombard hex skill before and I have 1300+ hours in OOB. Are they getting visibility around the exit hex?

This is from the Approaching Stalingrad scenario in the Panzerkrieg campaign.

I can see a Russian plane in the middle center, where did that fly in the AI's last turn?

That's a Ju 88 over the 6 strength Soviet conscript infantry.

I think the Russian infantry surrounded by yellow can see your artillery. It seems to me that visibility is better over lakes or over the sea:

Good guess, I think.

Example with lake:

Bingo!

Yep, 4 hex vis over open water

Wow, thanks all, I did not ever realize that before.

LOS rules continued...

How is the engineer unit in red getting mortar'd by the heavy infantry unit in blue? Does visibility over water ignore concealment too?

No, it's a special case in this scen: the Soviets get some visibility inside the city through triggers ('cause of the arty units on the islands I guess).

PS: I've recognized this as the Panzerkrieg/Stalingrad scen, but could you PLEASE also mention the DLC/scen you're referring to next time...
