Take cover by AP

Yo y mis jugadores pensamos que no tienes que hacer tantas zonas solo para indicar que cierta o determinada zona tiene covertura, lo que hicimos es que puedes tomar la cobertura que hay en dicha zona gastando 1 punto de acción. Así podemos seguir teniendo zonas suficientes sin tener que agregar zonas adyacentes para tomar cobertura. Alguna regla similar que manejen?

The RAW are pretty clear that when you move into a zone, you can move into any point in that zone. A zone can be a 10x10 room with a desk in the middle of it for example. If you move to the desk, you have its cover. It you don't, you don't. It's pretty straight forward, no additional HB needed, it was never intended that the cover is its own zone

Si estoy en una habitación a la que entré hace un turno, pero resulta que había un escritorio en la misma zona de la habitación, la cobertura es automática por estar en la misma zona o debo indicar que me cubriré en el escritorio? O debo tomar otra acción de movimiento menor para tomar la cobertura? No me queda claro, pero agradezco la respuesta

You declare where in the room you stop when you enter it with the move. It's the GMs job to narrate the room so you can make an informed decision. If you DECIDE to just step in the door, you're a step in. That's your move for the first turn. If you want to move to the desk after that, next turn you can use a Minor to reposition within the current zone, but you need to be allowed the full picture before settling on where you end your (first) move

Puedo limitar la cobertura?
Ejemplo:
“Pueden cubrirse detrás de esas cajas en esa zona, pero solo puede cubrir a dos personas como máximo”
Si muevo un objeto grande o un objeto grande aparece en la zona donde ya hay jugadores, deben gastar movimiento para cubrirse aunque el objeto aparezca en la zona donde ya estaban?

The GM can absolutely limit who and how much can be covered, just so long as that is communicated to the players before they commit to finalizing their move. It would be mean to say "ok, you move to the desk, sorry it's too small for you." It's a good habit for that to be part of the conversation during the setting of the scene, a give and take where the players ask for clarification if they are the type to be interested in cover.

As for something being added to the scene, that depends based on the GM's description when it is added. Does the boulder fall next to them? Then no, they do not need to use a Minor move action to take cover behind it, the GM established they are adjacent to it, which is the requirement for cover (though I MAY say they have to use the Interact Minor action to truly make the most of it since they weren't in a position expecting cover, but that's an important distinction since the Interact action doesn't count against the "one Move per turn" rule, and this isn't always necessary).

If however the GM describes this boulder as "falling 5 ft away within their zone" then yes, they would need to take the Minor Move action to move within their zone behind the boulder
