    I see that consoles & other objective markers have a fixed base width.

    do they also have a height?

    Do they count as scenery for partial cover reasons?

    Sadly, no.
    IMO they should (just give them a Silhouette value...), but as of now, they don't.

    If they are scenery pieces, yes. If they are just tokens, then no.

    Only three types of targets have a defined height:
    - AC2 (Advanced Communications Console) has S5 silhouette (45mm height)
    - Heating Unit and Biotechvore Antenna have S3 silhouette (32mm height)
    Edit and add: In Resilience Operations, Beacons and Beepers also have a Silhouette value, S2 in both cases.


    The rest do not have a defined height so they can be as high or low as the element used to represent them is.

    Regarding whether they provide partial cover, the general consensus (and I think it is written somewhere in the ITS document) is that if they are represented by a token they do not provide cover, but if they are represented by an element they do.
