Scenario 1.

2+ save unit is in cover and shot at by an AP -1 weapon.
2+ gains 1 to its save from cover, as it can't go beyond 2+ it stays the same. Weapon then reduces the save to 3+

Scenario 2.

2+ unit is in cover and shot by an AP -1 weapon. The weapon reduces the save to a 3+ and then the cover kicks in, increasing it back to a 2+

Neither. Both AP and Cover are adjustments to your Save Roll, not your Armor Value.

For example, a 2+ Save in Cover against AP 0 cannot fail since 1+1 = 2, except that a Dice Roll of 1 always fails regardless of modifers.

Senario 2 is how it plays out. The modifiers all apply to the die roll at the same time.

Simultaneous application, cancelling out and leaving you with a 2+ save.

I saw with eyes then young, and this is my testament.
