there is no answer in the rulebooks. How far into trees do units have to be
to block line of sight? I know in second ed. you had to be on the edge, but
this is never qualified in epic 40K. We wern't sure if troops in woods got
the infantry cover bonus or could not be shot at(or shoot out, although it
didn't matter, they were aspects). How does everyone else play it? (The
troops were about an old-style epic base width into the woods.)

Look in the battles book under the terrain conventions heading. IIRC they
say that most pieces of terrain ar 15mmx15mm. If you have woods bigger than
this break them up into 15x15 sections for LOS purposes. If a unit is in
the terrain you can see it but not if it is behind. So by this logic 15mm
of woods blocks LOS.
