Overview
Wide Guard is a Unit Trait that extends Cover and Block an extra half tile in each direction.
Strategies
Wide Guard allows units at the front of a squad to provide more protection against incoming damage to units behind it. It can allow one unit in the middle column to block melee attacks on all 3 columns behind it, even though the units aren't directly behind the Wide Guard unit.
It can be used to provide the benefits of Bodyguard if the squad leader is within the extended range of Cover.
