You can see through smoke guys. If the visibility is high and you're close to it you can sometimes see through the smoke and not just the 'partial' dissolving smoke but full smoke hexes too.

Also, smoke is NOT an impenetrable screen. You can fire through it using area fire.

And concerning the smokepots Carles22 mentioned; why would these have to be set oof in a units own hex? A unit can use antitank mines, satchel charges, magnetic grenades, etc from adjacent hexes. These are hardly things you can throw 50 metres at a hard target. So if these can be used in an adjacent hex it only makes sense to have the same apply to 'smoke pots'. Which gives you exactly what the game has now. The real question is whether maybe too many (infantry type) units carry smoke and too much of it?
