When judging line of sight past a mountain, do I count the last bit of the mountain that continues into the adjucent hex. If I line up the hex center dots the line doesn't actually cross the mountain but that hex technically does contain some of the mountain. The same applies if the sight line doesn't cross into a hex that is entirely a mountain jest the 10% that bleeds over into the next hex.

LOS is judged by entire hexes, not by the graphics that represent terrain features. If a hex contains blocking terrain, then the whole hex blocks LOS, even the little clear bits. If the hex is clear, then no part of the hex blocks LOS, even if a small bit of it contains some spillover blocking graphics from a neighboring, blocking hex.
In some cases, terrain graphics from a hill, forest, or swamp hex spill into a neighboring clear hex. This is just artistic license. The spillover has no effect in the game. The dominant terrain feature in a hex fills the entire hex. There is no such thing as a mostly clear, part hill hex.
