I had a character on a top of a building that had a brick wall riming the edge.
A) do I have cover?
B) do I have cover from enemies on the ground only?
C) is the wall ignored because it's within 1" of the edge?

You should have established this before you start your game. I've seen some players allow it if it's at least an inch and some allow it if it's just a centimeter. All cover should be agreed on before the game (like trees being soft or dense).

B) do I have cover from enemies on the ground only?

You draw imaginary lines (or get a laser pointer) between the two bases. If at least one can connect the two, there is line of sight. If at least one crosses terrain that you've set as cover and the target is close enough to it, that cover goes into effect.

C) is the wall ignored because it's within 1" of the edge?

Are you referring to a vantage point here? That's another thing that has to be agreed on at the start of the game.


A picture would really help.

Hrmmm because this seems pretty self explanatory.
Ps will send pictures of exact terrain and model placing when I go to store tomorrow.

Don't know why this picture faild to load in the last post.
No matter how we could have defined the terrain pregame it was a stone/brick castle STRUCTURE with WALLS.
