Cover in action gives an effective Dodge rating - it is not additive. This means it is a tactic for the unskilled - skilled fighters have better Dodge than all but the heaviest cover. It can offer a significant advantage in combat among mooks.

Amount of Cover Examples Dodge rating
Flimsy cover Lying down on a flat lawn or road, flimsy cover such like brush or cloth 9
Soft cover Lying down in terrain, partially covered, or in soft cover 12
Hard cover Behind wall or corner, looking out of a foxhole 15
Full cover Entrenched, behind small window in strong wall 18
Fortified Gun port, arrow slit, bunker 21
Hidden Only ricochets possible 24
