			There is very little cover in the open desert. The chief terrain features are sand dunes, which will sometimes reach above head height. Alien and trooper alike will have difficulty finding a place to hide. Aside from the dunes, there is almost nothing to hamper movement or line of sight. Enemies can be sighted from long distances, and sharpshooters can often place a shot clear across the battlefield.
