Scenery can provide '''Cover''' against Ranged [[Attack]]s.
'''Cover''' is protection a piece of scenery provides to a model against '''[[Ranged Attack|Ranged Attacks]]'''.


A Size Small, Medium or Large model has Cover against Ranged Attacks if it is '''within 1 inch''' of a scenery piece that is higher than the model's base and at least partially obscures the model's '''Hitbox''' from the attacker's '''Line of Sight'''. If the model is not within 1 inch of the cover at the point of being shot, it gains no benefit.

There are two types of Cover:
Requires being within 1" of scenery higher than the base that at least partly hides the Hitbox from the attacker's LoS. If the model leaves that 1" at any point of its move, it may be shot at that moment. Targetless attacks (e.g. an AoE at the ground) ignore the Cover modifier. Decide heavy vs light per terrain piece before the game.
* '''[[Light Cover]]''' — the object is smaller or thinner than the model's size → '''−2''' modifier to the attacker's Ranged Attack.
* '''[[Heavy Cover]]''' — the object is both taller and wider than the model's size → '''−4''' modifier to the attacker's Ranged Attack.


''Note:'' a [[Targetless]] Ranged Attack that targets the ground near the model (rather than the model) ignores the Cover modifier, while the model can still be caught in the effect.

Scenery can provide Cover against Ranged Attacks.

Light Cover — attacker −2 Heavy Cover — attacker −4
Object smaller/thinner than the model; being Crouched; on higher ground, partially obscured by perspective. Object both taller and wider than the model; solid wall on elevated ground.

Requires being within 1" of scenery higher than the base that at least partly hides the Hitbox from the attacker's LoS. If the model leaves that 1" at any point of its move, it may be shot at that moment. Targetless attacks (e.g. an AoE at the ground) ignore the Cover modifier. Decide heavy vs light per terrain piece before the game.
