poulpox Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi folks! Sorry I can't find an answer here or in the RM, and it looks like that rule is gone (or maybe it's me): does a Ht3 model gets cover from a Ht1 wall? What about Ht4 models? Thanks for your help! T.

0 Mr. Bigglesworth Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think it is absent because there was no rule like that, that eliminates cover if a model is too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Calmdown Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I vaguely remember that this rule exists in some game, but it's not Malifaux, maybe something else is creeping in from your gaming memory there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vmag Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 If all lines to the model's base cross the intervening wall AND the model is within 1" of the intervening wall AND the shooter is not also within 1" of the intervening wall then the model would be granted cover. The type of cover granted depends on the properties of the intervening wall (i.e. does it have the blocking trait or obscuring trait). The Ht of the models in question only comes into play when determining whether line of sight can be drawn to the targeted model. In this case the model has a Ht greater than the intervening wall so line of sight is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nilus Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Actually you have that slightly wrong. Its if any line crosses over the intervening terrain, not all lines. The rest is correct though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 poulpox Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 This rule is in Malifaux, book 1, p84, last point of the "covering" section, but I can't see it in the current RM. So I guess it's been removed then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vmag Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 That's right, thanks for the correction, Nilus. Jeez, don't play for a week and this is what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
