When is cover not cover? Or is it always cover? This came up on a recent Cof: Set up: Two barrels stacked are "Barrel 1" (consider as hard cover) at the 10...
... There is no general requirement that you have to be close to your cover. We had a stage today with a somewhat similar setup; start shooting T1 & T2 on the...
Without seeing or reading the COF or hearing the walk through it is very hard to give an answer. Here is what I will quote from the rulebook. "The main goal is...

Ok that helps, I don't think that the shooter should be forced to be right up on the cover. Just as long as they are using it correctly. One thing to think...
