Spotting enemy in a limited terrain hex from an elevated spotting hex

[Shad]

If looking into a field, being higher would likely be use full as one can look into the field better from above.

ACTUALLY,

Assuming your field is 500 flat meters away, the wheat is a meter tall, and my eyeballs 2 meters above the ground, the angle formed by my gaze is 0.115°

Give me a 20 meter observation platform in the same position and the angle formed by my gaze is now 2.405° .

In other words, you're still not seeing anything in the wheat mate

NOW, if I was ONE KILOMETER high and looking at a wheat field 500 meters away then my gaze angle would be 63.458° which would be enough to see something beyond the wheat wall between me and whoever is hiding in there.

But that would be silly!
