    Imagine the dice are characters. If the orange character shoots at the yellow one, is the yellow character in cover or not? IMG-20181005-WA0000.jpeg

    Incorrect. The blue Character occupies a space that obstructs.

    I can see your point. But the rules say THE line of sight, not ALL line of sight. Blu space is totally hidden to Orange: how can something that I can't see offer some cover to my enemy?

    I agree with Miller66 that :.: is exposed here, since his cover (:-:) isn't actually obstructing any LoS.

    He has cover. Characters themselves are occupied spaces. :.: Meets all requirements for cover.

    In the How to Play pdf, the example shows Wild Bill gaining cover from 8-ball..

    This line is obstructed.

    Is :.: adjacent to an Occupied space? Yes
    Does :,: have LoS to ALL of :.: vetrex? Nope

    So :.: has cover (and so does :,:, FWIW)

    So you are just going to ignore the part of the rule that says:
    The one obstructing LoS is the Blocked space in front of :,:, and :.: isn't adjacent to it.

    Does the line cross the occupied space adjacent to the target? This is the requisite for cover.

    This is correct. :.: is in Cover to :,: (and so :,: to :.:).

    But the line you draw isn't even reaching the Blu line... It crosses a point of a completely blocked hex... The line of sight is on the left side of the yellow die and THIS line of sight is NOT obstructed from the blue die... So in my eyes yellow don't get any cover, just orange gets it. Am I wrong?

    Did you see that -V- confirmed just above your post?

    To be in cover you need to:
    1) Be adjacent to an OCCUPIED space (blocked or containing a character)
    2) LoS need to be NOT clear (the enemy CANNOT see ALL of the vertexes of your space)

    Yes I read that but it confuses me... The rule says: if they are Adjacent to a Blocked or Occupied space that is partially obstructing the Enemy's Line of Sight... Not that it is enough to be adjacent to ANY occupied space.. And the line of sight from orange is NOT obstructed by blue... Just because if the blocked space directly in front of him... And yellow is NOT adjacent to this blocked space... I just want to understand how this works :)

    I don't understand, is blue not in the way? That LoF is blocked by the pillar as well doesn't matter.

    Yes you are right! I just clarified this with my mates of my local meta. I assumed that the line of sight ends at the pillar but this is wrong! Rereading the line of sight section says that the LoS ends at the target and not before... Therefore B is obstructing the LoS from O and Y is in cover... My fault [emoji85]
