Circumstance Modifier Notes
Every piece of intervening terrain between the shooter and the target gives a +1. This is cumulative, so
three pieces of intervening terrain would provide a +3 modifier. Note that if the target is in base contact

terrain piece, it does not count as intervening terrain, though it may block line of sight.
The target is in contact with solid cover (e.g. rocks, walls, thick wood, barricades, heavy machinery, other
Light Cover +2 figures) that covers part of its body, or with soft cover (e.g. bushes, undergrowth, barbed wire, fences) that
