We were playing a game last night which resulted in my opponent's December Acolyte making a ranged attack my Midnight Stalker. The December Acolyte was 2.5" away from the Midnight Stalker and we were wondering how his 'Face in the crowd' rule works. As it reads, and as we played, he gained cover as there was another model within 3", but the fact that the other model was the attacker seemed a bit off. I.e. thematically, would they confuse the Midnight Stalker with themselves?
