How do you do hills as far as cover saves.
I have the old GW hills at home and recently in nottingham played with the same hills.
At home I use them as level 2, ie block LOS to infantry and obscure vehicles.
In nottingham a very nice norwegian player pointed out that you can actually see a marine helmet over them so we should use tham as cover for which he insisted on 5+. Because of the language difficulty I didn't argue as we were smart enough to do this before we started.
My points are that if they are cover then the same save as a bush is ludicrous, shootoing through 30 feet of rock is obviously worth more.
I plan to stick to my rules otherwise there is nowhere to hide from shooty armies. I have to say that on the day my army is much more shooty than his was and so I beat him.
What do you think.
