A helicopter retreated to the shadows against the edge of the map, my eclipse moved toward the shadow to finish off the copter. The eclipse was not given the option to fire. The haze of war cleared revealing the copter in range, but unscathed despite being in range of the eclipses fire.

Is this the intended behavior? Once the eclipse moves and the copter is in range, shouldn't it be able to fire?

With this bug or intended behavior, the range of an eclipse is two hexes only within the area outside the fog of war. Units in the fog are invulnerable to the eclipse, forcing a port or another move to create visibility prior to moving the eclipse. Isn't it reasonable to expect the eclipses move should create visibility for the eclipse?

Uniwar is a great game, many thanks for your efforts. Thanks in advance for clarifying or fixing this behavior.

Well if you move, get visibility, and then undo the move before confirming his position that would be cheating now wouldn't it?

Also, that'll defeat one of the major purposes of the fog of war, protecting units in it. What you should have done was to first scout that said fog, THEN move in the eclipses to obliterate the said copter

Yeah you have to have visibility at the start of that unit's move. It's the same for all ranged units.
