General Rules
Up to 2 Characters in a unit can get a 2+ "Look Out, Sir!" against Dwellers Below, Final Transmutation and Dreaded 13th. Normal requirements for Look Out, Sir! apply.

BSBs can take all the equipment their unit type has access to as if they weren't BSBs.

Units fleeing at the end of the game and / or at 25% or less of the number of starting models yield 50% of their VPs.

Line of Sight
Simple Line of Site will be used instead of True Line of Sight as defined below:

Terrain pieces are divided into ones that:
-   Block LoS: Hills, Buildings and impassable terrain.
-   Don't block LoS: all other terrain.

Unit is considered to be in hard cover when:
-   Majority of unit's footprint is obscured from shooter's Line of Sight by one or more Interfering Unit(s) or LOS blocking terrain(s), as described on page 41 BRB
-   Unit is garrisoning a Building, as described on page 127 BRB
-   Majority of unit's front rank is defending an obstacle, as described on page 122 BRB and ETC FAQ 8.4. If the unit is being shot from the flank or the rear, treat the corresponding file or the last rank, respectively, as the front rank
-   Majority of unit's footprint is in Ruins

Unit is considered to be in soft cover when:
-   Majority of unit's footprint is in or behind woods, as described on page 119 BRB

Models shooting from hills or buildings don't get the hard cover penalty for shooting through interfering units, unless interfering the unit is also on hill.

Units with majority of its models on hill do not receive hard cover for being shot at through interfering units, unless that part of the units which interferes is also on hill. Units with majority of its models on hill do not receive hard cover for being partially obscured from the shooter's LoS by the same hill they are on

Large Targets can't claim cover for obstacles, ruins and interfering units, unless interfering
unit is also a Large Target. Large Targets which shoot don't suffer any penalties for interfering units, unless interfering unit is also a Large Target.
