hoping to clarify my understanding of cover and line of sight, and how being in base contact influences the situation.
in the image, unit 1 is in base contact with the terrain piece that provides heavy cover, blocks line of sight, and is taller than a trooper silhouette. Are the following statements true:
If unit 1 makes a ranged attack at unit 2, unit 2 will not get cover from the terrain piece because unit 1 is in base contact with it
unit 1 is unable declare unit 3 a target for the ranged attack, because, while being in base contact negates the cover provided by the terrain piece, the terrain piece still has the property of blocking line of sight
due to the terrain piece blocking line of sight, unit 1 may only have the two models in line of sight participate in the ranged attack because the third model is ineligible due to not having line of sight
I guess this all of questions could be summarized by "If a unit is in base contact with a terrain piece, does it retain the property of blocking line of sight?"
do any of the rulings of these statements change if
- the terrain piece is instead a vehicle, such as a saber tank or snail tank?
- the terrain piece is a height 2 building and unit 1 is on top of it.
