1. Do units 'teleport' when they move or do they 'walk'?

For example, let's say a unit is in the fog but in order to move to another part of the map (also in the fog), due to obstacles, it will have to go through a part of the map you can see. If the unit has to walk, it should become visible as it goes through the revealed part of the map before it ultimately ends up back in the fog. If the unit teleports through the obstacles however, then it won't ever become visible.

As a reference point, in games like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem where you have to choose a unit's movement path and they visibly walk (drive, etc) to their destination, they WILL be seen for a brief moment before ending back out of vision.

2. If a unit is in your vision but then moves into the fog, do you see which space they move to?

I know that you at least can see which direction they move but I can't remember if you can see the actual space they end up on.

1. they 'teleport'. Meaning if you start inside FoW and end in FoW the enemy will never see you move.

2. Yes, you'll see the space they land on.
