				 Taking cover 
 Could someone clarify this.  I assume that issueing a take cover command lasts until the unit either moves or fires.  Is this correct? |

				 Re: Taking cover 
 How is taking cover any different than defensive terrain modifiers? |

				 Re: Taking cover 
 Take cover is an action and not a status
 A successful take cover action breaks enemy LOS and makes the covering unit undetected once more, is all.

				 Re: Taking cover 
 Eh? - there is no "cover" status
 It is an action that costs a unit 2 MP, and it may or may not work to make the unit undetected. You will soon find out if the enemy has or hasn’t lost sight of them! (hint - if you try it at 1 hex range, it aint likely to work out!)
