Thanks for your response although it still doesn't quite answer the question (which I maybe worded incorrectly) So the rule is satisfied for them gaining cover from standing on the gantry as it is at the same elevation as the battle droids... happy with that. How about the rule where "a straight line can be drawn from any portion of the the attacking characters base to any portion of the defending characters base through any number of those terrain parts." For Kalani that straight line passes through the antenna from a portion of his base to a portion of Ahsokas, but it passes over the gantry - she therefore gains 1 die from hunker and 1 from cover as the line passes through a portion of that cover. For the battle droids who are also stood on the same terrain piece my interpretation would be that the straight line doesn't pass through the gantry, but over it, so she would only gain 1 additional die from hunker, not the extra 1 from cover. According to my local game club she would gain 2 additional defence dice against the battle droids aswell, 1 for hunker, 1 for cover as from a top down view the straight line does pass through the gantry. Please can you clarify which is correct?

My local gaming group is currently using the interpretation that if you are stood on a terrain piece ie a gantry, then you are within 1 of it, and from a top down elevation the ruler passes through the terrain piece, so you would therefore gain cover when hunkered even when stood in the open and very exposed. So according to the below photo assuming Ahsoka is hunkered she is also in cover from the battle droids as she is within 1" of the terrain piece she is stood on, and the range ruler would pass through that terrain piece (top down, not side elevation). My interpretation of the rules would be that the gantry is a terrain piece at a lower elevation than the battle droids, so Ahsoka would not be able to gain cover due to standing on the gantry. If the droids were stood on the floor, the gantry would be at the same or higher elevation to them, and the range rule would pass through it so she would get the benefit of cover. She would gain cover from Kalani as she is within 1 of the dish, which is at the same elevation as Kalani and a straight line can be drawn through the terrain piece. Please can you clarify which interpretation is correct? Is the gantry you are stood on actually on the lower elevation, and is therefore not eligible for cover rules for characters on the same level? Thanks
