Just wondered what the boys' thoughts were on light cover? In our game at the weekend we designated some areas of the table as "light cover" with only a -1 protection, as opposed to the blanket -2 for cover in the rulebook. Other games do it, so why not T&T, we figured.
Seemed to work out fine. I don't see any problems doing this. Do you prefer light cover as -2 also, with heavy cover as -2 to hit with a +1 to the damage roll for the more protective nature of the cover? Thoughts?

Isn't "light cover" designated "soft cover" in the rulebook, if I get your query right?
Rulebook says: Soft cover terrain features don’t grant good physical protection for your soldiers, but rather make it very difficult for the shooter to get a good aim at the target. Examples of soft cover include bushes, a wooden fence or some scattered trees.
In the Ranged Combat Modifiers Table the entry reads Target is in hard or soft cover: -2 or -1
Must admit we have been forgetting the +1 to the damage roll though. Would have helped my Indians on the weekend too! >:(
Hope I haven't confused the query.

Fsultana pretty much got our approach; a -1 for visual obscurement, a -2 for physical cover (plus the damage modification for small arms).
This differenciation, however, only appears in the (revised) second print run, and was added for the reasons listed by Plynkes. I think there should have been a respective paragraph in the Errata Sheet, but I apparently missed it. Sorry about that. :)

Chris is right - I have the earliest edition (signed by Björn too - so it will be worth a lot of money one day, though not as much as one not signed by Björn :)), which just has -2 for cover - all cover.
Thanks for clearing that up. Good to see that our unofficial improvisation actually is part of the printed rules. Great minds think alike.
