Taking cover

[chris h]

Could someone clarify this. I assume that issueing a take cover command lasts until the unit either moves or fires. Is this correct?

[DRG]

Correct

How is taking cover any different than defensive terrain modifiers?

[Mobhack]

Take cover is an action and not a status

A successful take cover action breaks enemy LOS and makes the covering unit undetected once more, is all.

Just wondering if there was someway of highlighing units that have taken cover?

[Mobhack]

Eh? - there is no "cover" status

It is an action that costs a unit 2 MP, and it may or may not work to make the unit undetected. You will soon find out if the enemy has or hasn’t lost sight of them! (hint - if you try it at 1 hex range, it aint likely to work out!)
