A cluster of enemies may be strolling from behind just after you’ve arrived. Also, beware objects that block line of sight. Do advance a bit more freely, but don’t sprint ahead with abandon. An enemy’s field of vision, as far as concealment is concerned, isn’t revealed to you until you’ve spotted them.

You can’t always see which tiles will reveal a concealed character Watch for the red icon when you’re mousing around and pause for a beat to be sure of your choice while maneuvering near the mine traps buildings represent. Committing to such a move would be tantamount to shouting at every alien in the vicinity that you’re skulking about. If it leads through a door or window, he may be about to dramatically and, more importantly, loudly, barrel through it. Note the line drawn between a character and the tile you’re about to send him to. Pay attention to your path while moving under concealment How much outside help do you want?
