RE: Shoot & Scoot
Me personally, I have no problem with shoot & scoot, particularly when it is the move a hex, fire, move back a hex kind. I think that closely mimics the tactic of moving forward from a place of concealment taking a shot and moving back. I have read of numerous accounts like this, whether it be around the corner of a building, between a group of trees, or up to the edge of a ridge. Don Fox's book on the 4th Armored has several examples, iirc.

I agree that moving up 4 hexes, shooting, and moving back 4 hexes is a little less "realistic", but I can live with that.

Regarding the whole omnipotent LOS issue which seems to factor in here, there are other accounts that may factor in here. I have read numerous accounts of tank commanders dismounting to scout ahead for good firing positions. Small infantry patrols would be similar. While they would scout ahead several hexes worth, knowing the LOS of adjacent hexes would certainly be possible.
