Can the DEFENDER choose to reveal a HIP unit, under a concealment counter, at any time, rather than just the instances quoted in A12.32?
For example, suppose a Gun attempts to fire SMOKE at an apparently-empty hex (concealment terrain). The EXC in C6.2 says that Case K does not apply. So if the DEFENDER has a HIP unit in that hex, could he choose - after the shot is announced but before the dice are rolled - to reveal the HIP unit under a '?' counter? This would make Case K apply and the shot more difficult.
Another example: Could a DEFENDER choose to reveal a HIP unit at the start of his opponent's MPh, in the hope of persuading the ATTACKER's units to take another route (where other more dangerous HIP units might be hiding)?
Sorry if this has already been asked; I've searched but can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.
