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?

Correct

How is taking cover any different than defensive terrain modifiers?

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.

Just wondering if there was someway of highlighing units that have taken 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!)
