COVER and CONCEALMENT
This test answers the question- "At what range will the enemy spot my infantry in different types of cover?"
It's Red Thunder but if the game engine is the same as CMBN and CMFI the test should hold good for them too. Veteran level, bright sunny day.

1- I place Russian squads in and behind the various types of cover at the far end of the map on 'Hide' with minimum arcs. They all go prone and I start a German infantry line walking towards them on 'Move'.
Already the two Russian squads on the far left are spotted at about 250 metres even though they're lying prone because I placed them in open ground to see what would happen.-
