Re: concealment vs. cover: It shouldn't count as concealment if the enemy saw you duck behind it? I was just watching a cop show this morning-- the bad guy was letting rip with an Ingram while the hero and his wife ducked behind couches. The hero then popped up and shot a couple times, rolled over one chair to hide behind another couch, then finished off the bad guys with his third pop-up. The hero only reloaded once he was running out of the house to start banging away at the bosses escaping in the limo.

Anything that increases the area that has to be shot to achieve a likely hit on you is good. If someone is shooting at me I will use ANYTHING to help (I always remember the line in All Quiet on the Western Front about recruits not seeing cover unless it is 6 inches high. I was taught to use the slight rise of a curb as cover - every little helps.
