So if I have

___XXX___
YYYYYYYYYY


OOOOOOO

Assuming all squads are infantry (say X=Oblits, Y=CSMs, O=SMs), and on the same level surface, can squad O shoot at Squad X by way of target priority? or does squad Y completely block line of site?

I ask because the rule book only seems to cover situations where both squads are exposed, or where there is a monstrous creature/vehicle.

eg:
XXXXXX__M
____YYYYYYY


OOOOOOOO

This is how most scenarios are explained in the rule book, squads O, X, Y are infantry and M is a monstrous creature. Clearly O can shoot at Y and M, or at X with a target priority test.

I digress, looking for an input on the first part for current 4th edition, I realize it is changing for 5th.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254433.page GMT Re:Line of sight?

LOS and the ones that do are all listed on page 20.

While you may trace a LOS through a unit this does not neccesarilly meen that you can shoot at the unit further away, to do that you must first pass a target priority test but that is a different issue and one that you are aware of.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254810.page GMT Line of sight?

Not ignored exactly. You still have to deal with your target priority tests. So sometimes you cannot shoot through the enemy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254932.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208505/254932.page GMT Line of sight? Blocking?

Yep, the only thing you have to worry about is monsterous creatures and non-skimming vehicles. Everything else can be ignored for line of sight purposes.
