Re: Visibility 1
You were just unlucky.
If you want to "sneak up" under any visibility conditions then:
Don't do it into a hex the enemy (or turret for a tank etc) is facing. In other words, go to their sides or rear. (And make sure there is not another (maybe hidden to you) enemy unit looking into that approach hex too!)
Only move one hex per move when "sneaking". The faster you go the more easily spotted you are.
It helps if there is some smoke in the approach hex.
It helps if the enemy is suppressed or itself is moving fast (if you move fast, you spot less well. If suppressed, ditto). Suppressed units have less shots, don't hit as well, and may panic if they spot you at close range when they attempt to fire.
It helps if the enemy is less skilled (experienced) as those don't spot as well as more elite troops do.
Of course if the enemy is out of shots, then anybody can walk up next to them for "free" assuming there is no-one there to give covering fire.

Don't do it if the sneaking unit is spotted by the enemy - as then there is no surprise.
