This situation occurred playing "Flames of Unrest"...

A squad at 1st level of a building throws a DC in an adjacent road hex.
Rolling the effects against itself, the DR is an Original KIA (i.e. 2 to 4).

Here are the questions this situation arises (from easier to harder, IMHO) :

1) Can a thrown DC create Rubble - cf. B24.11 dr ?

2) Does anything happen to units at Ground Level of the building?
[my sense of logic pushes me to suppose some effect, though the rules seem quite silent on the subject]...

3) If rubble does occur [granted answer to 1st question is "yes"], does it happen at ground or 1st level of building?

In the situation described, I rolled Rubble dr, and I was blessed it did not indicate Rubble occured... so my question is not urgent at all.

1) Yes, I think so.
2) Not unless the building collapses because of an upper level rubble effect
3) At the 1st level, and possible the whole building if it collapses due to the 1st level rubbling.

This seems very strange and I hope I am wrong, but that is how I read the rules.

Thanks!
I would also play that way, as it seems to stick to the rules...
But the feeling of strangeness remains... :roll:

Would you appreciate me sending these questions to Perry Cocke?

"OFFICIAL" answer

Here is Perry's answer (I also put it in Perry Sez posts) :

Rule:A 23.6 Thrown DC + A 23.41 & B 24.11 Rubble

A squad at 1st level of a building throws a DC in an adjacent road hex.
Rolling the effects against itself, the DR is an Original KIA (i.e. 2 to 4).

Here are the questions this situation arises:

1) Can a thrown DC create Rubble - cf. B24.11 dr ?

Yes, but only in the DC's original target Location.

2) Does anything happen to units at Ground Level of the building?

No.
