Does SGII have a separate "spotting" mechanic which penalises you if you
move?

If it doesn't, then the spotting bit would seem to be included in the 
shooting mechanic... in which case it is perfectly realistic to penalize
a 
fire on the move. If you "miss" due to the penalty, it was probably
because 
you didn't see the target in the first place :-/

DSII obviously handles things this way, BTW - if the hit probabilities
are 
taken as the simple *hit* probabilities (with spotting assumed to be 
automatically successful), they are ridiculously low.

A more normal sequence would be "1, 2, 3, *4*, ..." without the double
"3", 
but we all know that TomB isn't entirely normal ;-)
