He guy's,

Probably an easy question for al veteran players out here.

If the green dot declares he makes a move to the cover of the crates and the red dot declares his ARO to shoot.
Does the shooting start after the movement and the green dot having the Cover bonus or before he moves and is out in the open?

Im pretty new too, but Ive been told that you can interrupt the opponents move to shoot at him at the most opportune time, when he is not in cover.

Ok...

So what when he would move with his first move from out of the cover of the Container, stands in the open, and then uses his second move to get behind the crates?
He moves from cover to cover? or when I use my ARO between the 2 moves he gets no cover?

In the real rules (I don't know the BoW quick-start rules) you can choose the most opportune moment of the order to make your shot.

So if at any stage in their order they are out of cover, and still in your line of sight, then you can choose to shoot them then. You may also choose to shoot someone at the closest point to you of their move, if that might move you one range-band on your weapon closer.

That is correct.

And, during an order spending sequence, there is not before and after, all declared actions happen simulteanosly. Even if you are placing an smoke template in a Face to face roll the enemy can win and the templete is not there.

- I declare my first short skill.
- I declare my AROs.
- I declare my second short skill.

When everything is declared, check the modifiers, throw the dice and see what actions are performed sucessfully.

Just a reminder there is some exceptions to this such as throwing smoke outside of LoF, then moving protected by it. Two normal rolls occur and if the smoke is successful the shot is negated without a visor. This was due to a call on the part of Corvus Belli, don't ask me why.

In the situation described above you can choose at what point during the order you make your shot. If you move + shot you can shoot at any time during the move and likewise if your enemy AROs shoot they can chose to shoot at you at any point at which you moved. Moral of the story, don't hang out in the middle of nowhere and hug cover... kinda like real combat lol.
