I thought concealment loss was based on "the hex you were moving into", not the hex you were leaving.
I searched the ASLRB and could not find a difinitive statement about advancing out of an entrenchment within an open ground location. The only thing I could try is that leaving a foxhole seems to be a seperate action with the APh according to the foxhole rules. I have not seen it played differently. I could not find a Q&A. That means I am probably missing something in the rules. Send a question to perry to get an official answer if someone with a better nose for the rules doesn't give you a rules reference.
From Sam Belcher's compiled Perry Sez collection (in particular, note the last answer):
B27.1 Foxholes (March 2001)
During the APh, does a unit entering a Foxhole hex to go beneath the Foxhole counter ``pay one additional MF =separately= after payment of the COT to enter the hex,'' as in the MPh?
Yes.
Q: Does A10.531 mean that Concealed Infantry advancing, in the APh, into an OG hex to enter a Foxhole, could lose Concealment to an enemy unit with ``a hypothetical Defensive First Fire opportunity'' vs that advance?
Yes.
Q: During the APh, does a unit advancing into an OG Foxhole hex (and under the Foxhole counter) in an FFE get the TEM of the Foxhole, or the OG TEM, vs the FFE attack?
Open Ground
Q: During the APh, does a unit in an OG Foxhole hex in an FFE, advancing to a non-FFE hex, get attacked by the FFE before leaving the Foxhole hex?
Yes.
If so, does it get Open Ground TEM, or Foxhole TEM, vs that attack?
Open Ground
