My understanding of the rule is that a unit in the jungle can only be spotted by adjacent unit but LOS can pass through like all non limiting terrains. Also nothing is mentionned about jungle height.
Common sense would suggest it is limiting terrain and maybe height should be 20 meters. What should we consider?
That was a good catch. I didn't notice it and just assumed it blocked. In other tactical games I've played, I always took it to automatically mean that if you need to be adjacent (1 hex) to see the target in the hex because of terrain, then you can't see out of that same target hex.
Looking at the Terrain Effects Chart is says this for Swamp:
Swamp- Does not block LOS, but units in swamp may not be spotted by enemy units more than 1 hex away.
The swamp description specifically states that it does not block LOS. I think if the Jungle hex was NOT blocking line of sight, it would say the same thing.
