Wanting to ask about this combo because Accon has Sapper Regular and then Machinist with DC. Sapper gives Mim-3 and cover in 360. If the VF cover is deployed for the Sapper, does it stack with the foxhole or only get the VF?
Sibylla's advice in the Deployable Cover entry of the wiki (bold by me): "Sibylla's Advice A Trooper claiming Partial Cover from Deployable Cover (Vitroferro) applies a maximum MOD of +6 to his Saving Roll, even if he is in Partial Cover from another piece of scenery. Also, he cannot apply the -3 BS MOD to the enemy Attacker’s BS Attack Roll. All this only applies if the Attacker cannot get a full view of the Trooper’s Silhouette past the Deployable Cover. In either case, if the Trooper is the target of an Attack, the player may choose to have the Trooper benefit from Cover or apply the Deployable Cover."
In other words, you get to choose between +6 save (dep cov) and -3 to hit (mimetism) or +3 save (foxhole) and -6 to hit (foxhole + mim)?
Yeah fantastic if you have Mimetisim of any level but then also good with Immunity (ARM). The bad thing is the set it up. You can only use it in active turn and you want to deploy the ENG near the troop and leave space for it. But if you have first turn, this can make your good ARO piece a fantastic defender. A big static so need deploy just right.
