   I am a little confused on these two pieces of the rules and how they interelate to the combat portion of the rules as they apply to regular units. I think I am clear on irregular units.

   Under the heading Bad Terrain on page 56 it states a unit will be penalized for bad terrain in the following instances:

   A regular unit in or attacking rough terrain.

   On page 22 of the rules it states:

   In order to be in rough terrain for purposes of shooting or COMBAT a unit must have half or more of its bases completely in rough terrain.

   If you have a unit deployed and defending in woods and the rules define woods as soft cover and rough terrain which combat modifier do you apply?

   Do they get the cover bonus for defending in soft cover, or take the bad terrain modifier as they are deployed in soft cover and only if half the unit is thusly deployed?

   All comments appreciated, Bruce.

   I understand BOTH modifiers are applied, so a regular infantry unit defending in woods would apply -2 and +2 for a net of zero.

   Note it will remain an advantage if they are defending the forest edge , as the attacker will apply the -2 even when they are not in the woods (pg 56) but they will not qualify for "cover".

   So then would you apply these modifiers as you suggest if the unit had only half its bases completely in rough terrain as reference on page 22?

   Yes. If the defending unit have at least half bases in the forest apply both modifiers (cover and bad terrain) to his die roll and only bad terrain for the attacker, note that it doesn´t matter if the attacker have any base in rough.
