Shooting at chargers

[badhabum]

PDF version pg 69 5.M.5 : shooting at chargers is deemed to be at 1 BW for working out shooting claims

Let us be nasty

What happens if  there is a cover closer to the shooter ( half a BW , even 0,9 BW ) . the charging unit will be technically "in cover" as the shooting is deemed to happen when the charging unit is still in cover at 1 BW and not within one BW !

Cheesy , misdeployment of the shooters, but is it the spirit of the rule

Ow, cheesy indeed! But is it cheddar, RJC? Your opinion is asked.

[nikgaukroger]

Counts as cover, why wouldn't it? Seen it happen a few times.

In fact it seems sensible and realistic (if I understood the question). If as shooters you stand too close to cover then the enemy can burst out before you can shoot at best effect. Stand a bit further back from the terrain and you get a decent shot as they come out into the open. Sounds historical doesn't it?

[nikgaukroger]

Quite. I'm a bit puzzled that it could be seen a cheesy.

[badhabum]

I ask the question because it may seem cheesy to some players . Many put some shooters near the edge of a cover and forget the rule that shooting is deemed to happen at 1 MU and not within 1 MU

I was pretty sure of the answer but having it written is always good as we not have a Nik or a RJC next to us
