Quick question
I have missed where the rule is probably tucked away somewhere
Appendix B
States for Individual Fires with Missiles
"Cover Subtracts from Dice scores"
But I cannot find any reference to by what degree.
I am assuming I am missing it as some rules seem quite hidden such as that one uses Short Bow Target numbers for Hurled weapons is found in Missile fire in man to man but the ranges are in the Troop listings in the start.
Does one use the Arquibusiers cover rules of -1 for half cover and -2 for greater than cover? That is the closest I can find that would be a modifier to the dice scores

The modifier for cover is not stated. You'll have to make a judgement based on what is stated.
p12 "Soft cover such as brush, woods, waist high fences, and walls will reduce missile casualties by one-half (drop all fractions). Woods and overhead cover, such as roofs, prevent indirect fire. If indirect fire is possible, then casualties will not be reduced by cover. Movable mantlets and walls with arrow slits make target behind them, including missile troops firing thru slits, 'arrow proof' unless indirect fire is possible." *these are referring to resulting number of casualties.
p13 "If the target is up to one-half concealed by hard cover (trees, walls, rocks, etc.) deduct 1 from the score rolled on the 'accuracy die'. If the target is over one-half concealed by hard cover, deduct 2 from the score." *this is referring to a d6 resolution. also, the "one-half concealed by hard cover" description is similar to what is called "soft cover" in the earlier quote.
p23 Movable Mantlets: "One missile figure can fire through the slit of the mantlet without being exposed; additional missile troops firing from behind the same mantlet will only receive protection equal to soft cover." *this expands on the p12 description and uses similar language.
p41 Appendix B Individual Fires with Missiles: "Cover subtracts from the dice scores." *this table uses a 2d6 resolution.
My own ruling for man-to-man. You must have LOS for missile fire. Soft cover is -3 to dice score.
