Cover & Defensive Embark

[aokces]

Quick question:
Would the Cover promotion reduce the amount of damage embarked units take from bombardment?
For example, with the cover promotion, would a unit only lose 3 hp instead of 4?

Intuition would suggest this for sure. I have been trying to test it, but it's difficult to test with how rarely the AI will attack embarked units with ranged damage.

Just play a MP Hotseat game with yourself. Then declare war on yourself. Then promote yourself, embark yourself, and bombard yourself. Keep repeating "I am not schizophrenic," and "Neither am I."

Do you know if it works for units with embarked defence?
