Engaged in mid move

Thanks again, guys. What Anaraxes said sort of cleared it up for me (I think). The guy passing by the shadow hex can't actually see the guy inside it (I think). But he can make a reasonable assumption that there is something inside it and decide to attack "into it". Since he can't actually see the foe inside the shadow hex, his attack suffer the -6 penalty.

Likewise, the foe inside the shadow hex can't actually see the guy running by but he can hear him and therefore "attack into the space" from whence the noise came...but he also suffers -6 or some other penalty due to poor visibility.

(I had started a habit of always thinking about attacking spaces instead of their occupants long ago that always served me well for these conundrums. Unfortunately, I had forgotten it.)
