I've just received my TOI NOrmandy expansion at long last. The part about destructible buildings wasn't quite clear to me. Apart from squads setting off charges, are the only squads that can destroy buildings mortar units?

How about vehicles????

Vehicles CAN take out buildings, in fact you need 6 hits all at once to do this so mortars are out of the equation. Tanks use their vehicle attack dice.

Demolition squads can blow a building with 2 charges as these automatically inflict 3 hits a piece.

Be aware though that a demolition squad can only plant the charges before becoming fatigued, so it takes anothe r fresh demo squad or fresh unit with an officer in LOS to detonate the charge.

I only got this after my last man had braved op fire from all directions to throw his charges at a stugg. No one present could set them off. Game over.

Personally I think 6 hits is a bit steep. I've never yet managed to take out a building.

And add to that the fact that buildings have 2 cover dice... so you need lots of firepower.

Yeah, upon re-reading the section that struck me too...

As far as six hits being a lot is concerned; I don't know: Use COMBINED fire!
