When I go to the Compendium and go to my Dungeon Master's Guide, and I go to Chapter 9 "Running the Game" I see a page with that chapter's contents.
When I look at the left nav menu I see ... Social Interactions, then Objects, then Combat. Combat has one subheading that is "Mob Attacks." The next item is Chases.
Oh! But wait a minute... if I read the text, after Mob Attacks comes "Using Miniatures"... what the hey!
And this is the section I was looking for, with helpful pictures on size and then all about cover and the optional flanking rule... all of that is invisible to the menu... you have to "know" it's there.
Also, I thought there was a picture somewhere with graphic arrows showing how to determine cover by drawing that line to corners of squares and stuff. Is that somewhere else?
And finally, while I'm on the topic. When I read material and it says "See DMG p. 97" or "It's all on PHB p. 118" I go into my DDB account and look in the compendium for the page... no can find! Is there a way to reference or search for that? Have I just not seen it, or is it a 'missed feature?'
Hope you can fix the links and get me a page index - thanks!
Looking at it, I'm fairly sure I can pin down what happened with the subheading. Mob Attacks is something that was probably never intended to be a sub heading, you can kind of get the feeling for this because none of the other sections with the same heading type are listed either. I'm guessing there is some sort of script that is set up to parse the sub headings into the menu and something messed it up, because the Using Miniatures section is right underneath it.

As for the pictures on cover, here's a link to the subheading for cover, the pictures are just a little bit down the page
