No, a unit on the first hill hex has LOS to lower hexes
generally, LOS is reciprocal, if the lower unit can see the higher unit, then the higher unit can also see the lower unit.
There is an instance where the higher unit can see over an adjacent lower friendly unit, but the lower unit cannot see the higher unit because of the intervening lower unit.
