Rule:A12 (Concealment) and A6 (LOS)
Question:Rule A12.121 states you determine the range of the to the nearest unit having such LOS when determining concealment gain. Rule A12.14 states you should use the principles of A12.121 when determining concealment loss. In addition, the concealment chart states: Range to nearest enemy unit in LOS.

Does the nearest unit always check first? If equidistant, which player chooses which LOS to draw first?

[Perry]
Not necessarily. Any unit within the given range (1-16 or 17+) will do. We suggest starting with the closest unconcealed unit _clearly_ in LOS at the discretion of the player seeking to deny concealment gain/retention.

If the selection is by range, there is no exception for HIP units in A12.121 (and only vague reference in A12.14 should a concealed unit be the only unit). Are HIP units required to check LOS loss/gain if they are the closest unit?

[Perry]
No.

NOTE: Some editing to remove a question easily answered by the rules and not directly related to range. --wf
