When checking LOS to a small-based mini, does the base matter, or only the silhouette?

The RRG makes it clear on page 55 that the base matters for Line of Sight checks, but the Tournament Regulations imply that they overrule the RRG and that only the silhouette matters. This creates a confusing interaction when the attacking unit is firing from above the defender.

See the highly technical illustration (attached) for a specific example. If the base still matters, Unit B will have cover from the barricade. If only the silhouette matters, Unit B will have no cover from the barricade.

Hey Ben, 

The base does matter for Line of Sight checks. The OP document will be updated in the future to reflect this clarification.
