Remember, you can use enemy units too.  Jump into their hex, leg attack, and use em for cover.  Loving it!

Although if I recall the rules correctly, the cover is only good against one facing....

Declare it when you unload the infantry.

Thanks. I don't have the rule book in front of me. (Working on "other" projects.)

Freakin' sweet.  I love infantry and BA in BattleTech more than ever now.

I just remembered a picture of Battletech Compendium with Elementals using a 'Mech they just brought down and using it to provide cover.
