Superior Camouflage - While this unit has cover, enemy units can't attack this unit at medium or long range.
It is my understanding that "Cover" is the effect of a successful roll. In order for a unit to achieve cover it has to have been attacked in defensive terrain that allows it a cover roll. Also that this roll is made each time a unit in defensive terrain is attacked.
The above rule worded in a confusing way.
Now, does the above special ability mean that a sniper in defensive terrain is attacked at medium or long range, succeedes a cover roll, and therefore the attack is aborted altogether instead of being limited to disruption? Has the unit that was firing on the sniper just wasted it's turn in the assault phase or can it choose another target since it really hasn't attacked yet?
Or should it say that a sniper in "defensive terrain" simply can't be attacked at medium and long ranges?
