Under what circumstance should a unit break cover? if at all possible, never. When it's impossible to hold cover, such as, your flank has collapsed, or you're making a mad-dash towards an objective, then try to garner some cover, anywhere you can get it. If you're men aren't in cover, and they aren't space marines, then you're in trouble. See, cover, is the difference, between certain death, and probable survivability. To move out of that, is to risk certain death. The majority of cover nabbing takes place not during play, but when you set up the board. Make sure, that you have a plan nomatter what happens to keep your men in cover. Only move, if you can move into cover. and NEVER just leave cover. EVER it's dumb, and it'll get you killed. Why did you move that unit up? because I wanted to get a little closer? well guess what? no that unit is GONE. So never leave cover. Beyond that, always deploy your men in cover, especially if you're going second. Movements should be brief, and done in such a way that units still retain a coversave at all times, with half the unit being in cover. Basics, but they bear repeating.
