Adjacent in Wooden Building

[joneshowarda]

If I have an American squad in one hex of a wooden building and a German squad in another hex of the same building (same floor) I assume that both units get the adjacency bonus when firing upon one another.

Can I also assume that the defender in both cases also gets the +3 for being in a wooden building, as they're probably hiding behind walls and the like?

Yes

Thanks for the swift reply!

Before I invested in this game I'd read that there were a lot of rules and exceptions. While I realize that some of the rule confusion must have stemmed from previous editions of the rulebook, I have to say that I'm finding a lot of rules intuitive. This one, for instance. I just did what I thought was natural and it turns out that's the way the game is supposed to run.

I discovered something similar yesterday with the melee rules. I couldn't find a ruling on something while playing, made a judgement call, and then later learned I'd played it as the game designers intended.

I agree, the rules, though not perfectly clear all the time, are logical and sensible and easy to interpret with an understanding of the situation represented on the ground and a little common sense. Welcome to the system and enjoy!

Thanks! So far I'm really enjoying myself. The only thing that bugs me is that I still haven't managed to win as the Germans in Assault on Vierville. I've logged 6 plays now, and putting aside that the first one was just following the walkthrough and I made lots of mistakes the next 2 times, that's still 3 to nothing. I want to win with the other side before I move on to another one map scenario, like Carentan.
