I dont mind not using the NVGs. I just hope his Stalkers are up to a little tsate of Orca power After reading the scenario over, The defender gets hard cover as long as he is in the fortress is that correct?

Good question.
At maplewood what you see is what you get. General rule for cover is 50% of the model canot be seen its covered.
depending what your behind tells if its hard or soft (ex: brick wall is hard, thick bush soft) declare what pieces of terrian is what before battle.
AS for this scenerio defender gets to lay out the base as they wish. Meaning if you got sandbag model walls, barrels, brick walls (all would be hard cover) or barbwire; you get to lay them out. If you own some bring them, I know the store has some to play with. Of course you must be behind it to get the cover...just because your in base doesnt mean its a blank check for hard cover no matter what
also in "Hold the line" (you said you played this before so you already know) you get to use force cards for deployment (include your false leads
) and the attacker doesnt.
what you DO get free for just being in the Base is your army is always consired to be in coherency while on Base( "hold the line" in the rule book covers this in detail)
I hope this helps
any other questions let me know.
PS
I too would use some orcas and maybe a sniper(or 3) with night vision (if the army list allows for such things)
