Terrain Cover Values

[The Coil]

Yeah - and as I recall, CT, you were a little snooty to me in that thread :P

(Although to be fair, you did give me my first cl...er...umm...posting encouragement award in that thread. Enabler...)

Anyway, the basic conclusion, IIRC, was that mortar v. unit in open, brush, scattered trees, or woods, is going to have about the same effect. At the time, my conclusion was "there is no treeburst effect". I think now I'd revise it to "treebursts do more damage, but groundbursts in the woods do less damage because of cover than groundbursts in the open, so the effect of a few treebursts in the woods and a bunch of groundbursts ends up being about equal to the effect of all groundbursts in the open".

Against guns, mortars did KO vs. units in trees a lot quicker, however...
