If you are moving as a group then they are all considered to trigger
the In Sight at the same time. The shooter can target as many of them
as his weapon allows.

No. If a group is declared to be hidden and not on the board it is
hidden. It cannot move and must be discovered by the enemy. Troops
that start in the woods an the board are in cover but may or may not
be seen.

No, see above.

No, see above. They are not seen but they are not hidden.

See above.

See above

Correct.

Only those on the edge.

Yep, spot on. You always get one active fire and as many reactive
fires as the weapon allows.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, good idea!
