Q1: Given “Fortifications in Concealment Terrain may always set up hidden and remain hidden until…” (A12.33), what concealed/HIP status may a unit within such a HIP foxhole claim at set up (i.e. may it ALSO set up HIP by fact that it is in a HIP foxhole)?

A1: No "free" HIP due to setting up in a foxhole. But a hidden Pillbox allows the contents to set up using HIP as well; B30.7.

Q2: if the foxhole is later revealed by enemy LOS, in what way is the unit in the foxhole now revealed, if at all (i.e. still HIP or concealed, was HIP but now placed on board and Concealed, or now on board and fully revealed)?

A2: Any hidden/concealed unit beneath a foxhole is not revealed just because the foxhole is.
