Do units block line of sight?
did not find that in the official rules, but i noticed that you can move thru enemy figures and cog's, so i think that units do NOT block line of sight when attacking
question
This is how we played it, Units do not block LOS.
Although they don't seem to say it as a defined rule there are lots of references to the black walls being the only thing that blocks LOS and that line of sight is drawn between 2 areas, either from the cover arrows and or the edge of areas dependant on the cover status of a figure, and not from cog to locust or visa versa
Figures have
LOS (line-of-sight) to each other if the player can draw a
straight line from one figure’s area to the other figure’s
area without tracing through a black wall. Players can use
the line-of-sight ruler to confirm LOS.

This. Only walls block LOS.
A rule we missed the first time is that you can shoot past your weapons listed range and give the target +1 defensive die per area. So LOS is important and typically easy to have.
