Do units get cover from via night fighting from ordnance barrage?

Night fighting rule says if a shooting attack scatters use the distance from the original target to determine what night fighting effect has.

Barrage rules say that cover save is determined from the centre of the blast marker.

So, would night fighting give cover saves because of distance i.e +2 shrouding or do you work out cover from the centre of the blast marker?

thanks

You still work out the distance from the firing model for cover saves, not the distance from the blast. So it looks like you would stll get the +1/+2 to your save

No idea if this is what they intended

Ok, cool.

You would get the +1/+2 to your save, but your save is worked out from the center of the blast marker.

Slightly off topic but still relevant but can a ordanance barrage shot target a unit over 36" away during night fighting

No, you can't target anything over 36"

Ok is this also the case with artillery with indirect fire

Isn't that the same question?
No you can't target anything over 36" with direct, indirect, barrage etc
Anything that requires a target. That's almost everything.

Just wanted clarification people at my local club say as you don't need line of sight you can still fire indirectly

You don't need line of sight.
Unfortunately you do need permission to target the unit - and Night Fighting forbids targetting farther than 36" away.

You don't need line of sight, but you still need to be able to target the unit.

Edit: Curses that rigeld2 is fast on the keyboard.
