There was a question the other day during a game.... do enemy shooting at OW infantry in the open still receive a -1 to hit? I can't see it in the TP but I'm sure we read it previously. Was it removed? If not, where is it listed?

Cheers all

Yes they do. See the Terrain effects table, p16 in the new TP.

from Terrain effects
1.8.4

Quote:

Open Ground:
Infantry count as being in cover (-1 to hit modifier) and receive a 5+ cover save if they are on
Overwatch in Open Ground. This represents the fact that stationary infantry are very hard to see. Note that the
save will be lost after the infantry shoot and the Overwatch marker is removed.
