Hey all, I've been casually playing battletech for... 30 years-ish? One thing I never put much thought into is what the hell are the numbers in the hexes for? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

I've seen them used for minefields, artillery targeting, and hidden infantry. All cases where putting a marker on the map would give it away.
