So TLOS means that if you have a huge 50 man unit then you can see through it because the models have thin arms and legs that you can see by? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard and if someone I played tried to make that argument I would pack up my stuff and go home. Like units can't see through like units. If 2 units are head to head in combat then you cannot see through them because it is a swirling mass of blood and bodies, TLOS be damned.

If I were playing in a tournament then I would be forced to hold by those rules then I would obviously have to. I don't play in many tournaments and in my opinion this rule is a very good reason not to. My friends and I are casual gamers and I'm sure they would agree with me that this rule by no means mirrors a real battle at all.

And yes I agree with you. It doesn't sound like a game I would enjoy either. Regardless of TLOS you cannot see through units or combat in the games we play. It just seems to make sense.
