Question:
When using the heavy fog operation card, do concealed squads stay hidden even on non-cover providing terrain?

Any help here would be appreciative?
I just want to check if I can allow a concealed squad to move around virtually anywhere without being revealed under "Heavy Fog."
Your question is similar to one of mine, that have not been yet responded.
May a concealed squad be targeted via a strategic resp. operational card?
I think that in your case Heavy fog card provides cover to all units that are not (yet) fatigued. Concealed squads every round becomes fatigued,
so this bonus will vanish after end of their activation.
If you mean to use this bonus during moving of these squads, then this bonus cannot be applied for covering, because it is not provided
by a terrain but by a weather. (as stated in rules for concealed squads)
So if your concealed squad would enter a (non-covering) terrain hex, then if it is within LOS of any enemy unit, it is spotted no matter Heavy fog card.
But Camouflage operational card would help :-)
I concur with the above statement. Thought wouldn't fog hide them still anyways, in the real world?

Yep. So I'd houserule this. Just like e.g. the rules for hedgerows (brushcutters op card, really), combined small weapon fire against bunkers, thsi is a very strange and unrealistic rule. Change it!
The heavy fog as in the wether deck from normandi makes a lot more sence actually. There fog limits the max line of sight, and rules regarding concealed units in fog is straight forward to apply.

Agreed!
