CF4.4 Feature Capacity/Protective Cover, Subsection Bocage/Hedges/Walls, p. 5 CF4.4 makes it clear that a Bocage/Hedge/Wall provides protective cover, and although it isn’t explicit, this probably applies to both Direct and Indirect fire. Trouble is Crossfire just doesn’t say where the stand has to be to get protective cover from a linear feature. The simplest assumption is that a stand gets protective cover from: Direct Fire if touching a Bocage/Hedge/Wall and LOS from the shooter crosses the feature. Indirect fire if touching a Bocage/Hedge/Wall irrespective of LOS from the FO. If a target stand is not touching a Bocage/Hedge and LOS crosses the feature, the LOS is blocked and the stand is not a legal target.
