DEPLOYABLE COVER

AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT

EFFECTS

When the player declares the Place Deployable Common Skill, the Trooper places the Deployable Cover Scenery Element on the game table.
The Deployable Cover Scenery Element has a Silhouette Attribute of 3.
Deployable Cover allows the Partial Cover rule to be applied, or variants as specified in this rule.
The Deployable Cover Scenery Element must be removed from the game table if it suffers a successful Attack from the Deactivator piece of Equipment.
There are two variants of Deployable Cover, each with its own features. The player must indicate which one he is using when he declares Place Deployable:
- Deployable Cover: Cutting Foam (CF):
  - Enemy Troopers cannot claim Partial Cover from this type of Deployable Cover.
- Deployable Cover: Vitroferro (VF):
  - Troopers claiming Partial Cover from this type of Deployable Terrain do not inflict a -3 BS MOD to their attacker's BS Attack Rolls.
- When in Silhouette contact, the Trooper applies a +6 MOD to their Saving Roll, instead of the usual +3 MOD.
- Restriction: If the total value of the Trooper's ARM/BTS Attribute plus MODs exceeds 12, apply a total of 12 instead. Then add the Attack's PS value.
If the Unit Profile lists only one of these variants in brackets, the Trooper may only use that variant.
