The time I am thinking of, the brick 'took the hit' to negate the small burst effect of 3 machineguns as his lightly built companions sheltered behind him. Essentially the brick provided enough cover that few or no bullets got past him to the others. I judged that this was worthy of spending the hero die. as it negated three x5 attacks on each of three of his companions.

It also was not the bricks panel to do this, so he was jumping the priority que to do it.

Great judgement call on this.

Question:
Where do I find Cover rules in BASH so that regular Mystery Men types could make use of telephone poles and mailboxes for cover?

Another Question:
If there are none, does anyone have suggestions?

There are rules for cover. It is under "Defense" in chapter 2. Search the pdf for the word "Uzi" and you'll get to it.

Thanks. I had tried referencing the index and then visually scanning for it. I didn't realize you could "search" a pdf though. Cool.

Found it... "Doh!"

I should have looked there first.
