In my post on the 2nd May it was established that a Churchill AVRE could fire at a building/fortification at a range of 10, but how many hits does a building take before it is destroyed
This came up in a game at the weekend and we could not find anything in the rules.
Our conclusion was to only fire at occupied buildings and inflict casualties on the occupants, and as the AVRE can legitimately target a building it did not require a direct line of site to the occupants.
I would welcome the thoughts of you guys on this.

Buildings can't explicityly be destroyed in the game (if they are destroyed, they still provide cover to the troops inside).

I thoughtif a building was destroyed the occupants all died?

The nnumber of hits for building etc are at the back of the book or is that just for chance hits.

On page 34 under Demolition it states that "Engineers may demolish a building or fortification", is this not the case?

The Churchill AVRE is designated as a demolition unit as mentioned in my earlier post, so what does it demolish

Remote controlled demolition units can also destroy buildings (page 34)as well as fortifications and obstacles.
On a die roll of 3 or 4 it rolls 12 attacks against its target. If the target is a building then how many hits does it take to destroy it? What if the target is a hedge, wall or ditch, how many hits would be required with 12 attack dice?

Here's a house rule that works.

Thanks T-Square I will consider this. I need to come up with a workable solution as I am putting together an 'Arnhem' type scenario, only this time its German infantry in the town instead of British Para's.

Hi, the link leads to nowhere. Can someone post the house rule again please?
