Victory Decision: Future Combat, free QRS released

The rules seems to be perfectly clear since you all got it right!
;)Yes.Yes, presuming that the condition from P. 25 (“A unit counts as in cover if the unit leader and half of his unit are fully within an appropriate terrain feature or within 2” behind cover providing scenery.“) is met.Yes.Yes, presuming that the condition from P. 25 (“A unit counts as in cover if the unit leader and half of his unit are fully within an appropriate terrain feature or within 2” behind cover providing scenery.“) is met AND you have agreed with your opponent that Shrubs provide Soft Cover.
See P.26: “As with terrain that modifies movement, the opponents should take time to declare the cover effects of each scenery piece on the gaming table before the game begins. The game should not start before it is clear to both players which scenery piece generates a terrain and /or cover effect.“

Some additional thoughts about Broken LoS and Cover. Victory Decision Future Combat is incredible fast and deadly. Broken LoS gives you the chance to use whatever is between your unit and the opponent to improve the survival chance. And yes most of the time a unit is in cover it could also claim broken LoS, but since the modifiers are not cumulative most will claim the better cover modifiers…

OK. Thanks that clears things up.

One last question. Where did you get that cool jet model on page 15?

The jetbike is from Khurasan, the grounded fighter is a Wing Commander Rapier Interpretation from Shapeways.
Search for Terran Fleet supply, or http://www.shapeways.com/shops/terranfleetsupply, they even come printed in coloured sandstone!

Question on cover:




In this image a 4 figure unit is stood behind and within 2'' of a concrete structure. We are looking down the barrel of a plasma launcher.

You can see one figure plainly, another partially and the unit leader and the last trooper is completely behind the structure.


In my view they would all count as being in hard cover. But my fellow gamer only counted broken LoS.

What would you reckon?


(I hope you can actually see the figures... they're the dark blobs next to the grey structure).

Short A: Hard Cover! 

Long A: See P.25! Last sentence of the note: "If in doubt be generous with the Damage Dice Modifier!"
And last paragraph on P. 25
"If the unit leader is not visible (blocked LoS) from the point of view of the shooting models use the damage dice modifier of the majority of the enemy models in LoS. If an equal number is in different types of cover, Broken LoS or even clear LoS, the player owning the targeted models decides which Damage Dice Modifier applies."

Applies almost straight away to your situation above!
