    Like in the title - my friend says that remotes (Traktor Mules in his case) are providing partial cover for his s2 troopers. I'm not convinced, because i always tought that miniatures can only blockLoF, not grant cover, i think it's listed on wiki. Am i missing something?

    Only scenery can provide Cover. Troopers can block Line of Fire, but will never provide cover.

    http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Cover
    'The term Cover refers to all pieces of scenery that partially or completely obstruct LoF, thus preventing the attacker from making a clean BS Attack.'

    'Requirements
    • The target of the BS Attack must be in base contact with a piece of scenery.
    • For a piece of scenery to be considered a valid Cover, it must conceal at least a third of the target.'
    My emphasis.

    I know Traktor Muls LOOK like scenery, but they're really not. ;)
