Z Fire

Assuming both units had been spotted by the other then yes both the higher and the lower units would be able to spot and fire ( regular or Z-Fire ) to each hex they are in ( assuming the range of both units weapons are equal ) but if one unit..could be the high unit or could be low unit, is stationary and the other unit has moved then naturally the stationary unit has the spotting advantage and if I am not mistaken a higher placed unit would have a spotting advantage in the game over one on a lower elevation. Units prone on a hill are harder to spot from a lower elevation than would be units in a valley below the hill when observed from the units on the hill.

As well, unit suppression levels and experience play a role in spotting so that is another variable to consider
