Rules regarding exiting units

Is placing a truck in a non-blocking position within view of a road hex, even if in a rear area, considered spotting? (I hate to admit it, but I do that one all the time, but only in rear areas.)

Would you place them there if you didn't see a "?" on the map providing some general intel? Probably not.

Jason, not sure what you mean. I don't place them to gain intel as such, but when choosing a "truck farm" area, I try to find an area that's difficult for a recon vehicle to get to and I try to place a truck in a location to it's approach where he can see imminent threats (usually no more then a couple of hexes). I guess my reasoning is if I'm a driver waiting for orders, wouldn't I want to be in an area where I could see an approaching threat to myself? I consider this completely separate from placing a truck on a wooded mountaintop hex close to front lines who's LOS is 10 or 20 hexes. That's clearly spotting.

Nonetheless, I'll stop doing it if it's considered foul play.
