In the digital game some Bazooka/RPG SWs can now fire from buildings. Is this rule now a rule change for the board game? Just curious.

This is a proposed rule change but, considering Tom has already implemented it in the Digital game, I'm guessing the Boss has approved it Unless we move back on this, this will also be in the next version of the Core Rules or the Clarifications & Corrections document.
Really?!? Why?
RPGs fired from inside buildings, in all the video footage I’ve ever seen, has been by a single person alone in the space. The only times I’ve seen it done with more than one person in a space it results in comedic flailing about by all others in the room.
So, if this change really “needs” to be made then maybe with some restrictions.
A single man counter can fire a bazooka/RPG inside a structure with no ill effects.
If the is also a multi-man counter in the structure OR the bazooka/RPG is fired by a MMC, then all MMCs in the hex become shaken.
Risk/reward experience.
Hello Stefano!
There was all kind of suggestions for a "penalty" for firing an ordnance SW from a building. The only "set" rules we had was a SSR in Heroes of the Falklands (or A Feat of Arms) that removed all TM for a unit that fired a LAW/Carl Gustav from a building. We decided to use a similar penalty for the "generic" rule. It represent the Ordnance SW firing team exposing itself a little more than usual, to avoid any injury to the rest of the squad, by firing from a courtyard, around the corner of the building, etc.
