So I have a question regarding Cover mixed with abilities which increase/reduce cover.
Assume a sniper shoots at another unit, which has heavy cover and a suppression. Considering that having the suppression token increases the cover by 1 (although never above heavy cover), does that counter the -1 cover of the sharpshooter? I'm assuming that cover is static once the shot has been fired, in the sense that it is declared as heavy and then reduced to light with sharpshooter 1. However, the RRG doesn't seem to go too in depth in this.
Any thoughts?
Cover and Sharpshooter
This is covered under Sharpshooter in the RRG pg 49.
- When determining cover, add cover values (not exceeding heavy cover), before subtracting cover values.
For example, a unit with heavy cover and a suppression token that is attacked by a unit with sharpshooter 1 has light cover.
Perfect, Thank you.
