    Page 57 of the main rulebook refers to camouflage nets as soft cover. Are there any rules on which weapons can use these or points costs?

    They are a very iconic part of artillery emplacements so it seems a very good idea.

    Or just introduce a house rule?

    Good question. I would think camo nets will play a part against enemy airstrikes, but checking the airstrike rules it seems cover does not affect airstrike to-hit rolls, as airstrikes hit automatically as long as they are not driven off by flak.

    In rulebook it is cited like any other light cover.
    You can put it in gun emplacements, like trenches and sandbags. You use it as a normal scenic element that provides light cover when setting up the table.

    I looked at a couple of expansion manuals (“Battlegorund Europe” and “D-day: Overlord”) and as protections to add to the army list I couldn’t find it. Not even in Easyarmy I found it as an option for the army list (generic reinforced platoon).

    So it has no point value, but you can put it on a defense line as a basic element of the scenario.
