Vehicles obscured by multiple pieces of terrain


Recommended Posts

Hello,

On pages 37 and 38 of the CRB, ground vehicles and repulsor vehicles “miniature’s silhouette must be at least 50% obscured from any point of the attacker’s silhouette to count as obscured.” Can multiple pieces of terrain be used to obscure 50% of the vehicle’s silhouette or does a single piece of terrain need to obscure 50% of the vehicle’s silhouette?

Please consider the following example:
A unit is attacking a vehicle. The vehicle is obscured by two, or more, pieces of terrain. All these terrain pieces have been determined to provide cover to the defending vehicle during the pregame discussion.
From one point on the attacker silhouette, each individual piece of terrain obscures less than 50% of the defending vehicle silhouette. But from that one point the total of the vehicle’s silhouette is more than 50% obscured by all of the terrain. Would the vehicle be counted as obscured?

Below is a diagram of one possible situation:
(Note: Neither piece of cover blocks more than 50% of the defending vehicle independently. However, more than 50% of the defending vehicle’s silhouette when assessed together)

Thank you all very much for your hard work.

Multiple pieces of terrain can be used to obscure 50% of the vehicle's silhouette. The vehicle in your example would indeed have cover.
