What unit/s does the "Cog Gunners and Cover" on page 51 apply to? Is it any unit with "gun" in the name, gunmen, or something else? Is it merely a rephrasing of the "Cogs and Cover" rule on page 37?

Thanks.

My understanding is that it is any support team per the fluff on that same page.

Thanks.

I would never have guessed that. Is there some place that defines "gunners" that I missed?

Not really "defines".

I interpretted that since page 51 was about support units and the "Mobile Support" 2nd paragraph mentions how support units turns on "the best protective field available to Cog infantry" as being the same thing.

Nop, not missed... btw I forgot to explain it clearly...

All cogs. No cover except paying LP for drill Take cover! --> 3+ cover save (snipers and indirecf fire work as ususal)

support units: As all cogs, but if remained stationary they dont pay for the drill, they get it for free

Oh. It was mentioned on the AT-43 forum that the definintion of gunner and support units is in the main AT-43 rulebook. A place I neglected to look.

Pg 48
• Support weapons and gunners: Support weapons are powerful but very cumbersome. These are miniatures of their own with their own base. Gunners are the fighters who operate support weapons. In game terms, support weapons and gunners are considered to be separate fighters.
