If troops are "in" the building, there's a good chance that you will affect the troops if you hit the wall they are hiding behind. Troops in a tree line are a little different. More apt to be spread out, or does your squad all hide behind the same tree? :wink:
A bazooka or PF round could easily miss all the trees your guys are hiding behind and hit a tree farther back in the woods. It would go "boom" but would not be likely to hurt the troops. For this reason alone, IF you allow this, the rule should have a +2 or +3 TH DRM, IMO.
Change is not a "good thing" - and this from someone who likes change.

I agree with what your saying, but thats why the to hit table exists on the back of the counter to see if you hit, and then you use the IFT. You could then also argue that the TH could be different for hitting a wall (small target) compared to hitting a house. Just a small point about not changing rules or making modifications. What I am hearing hear is that we can't try and improve the game. This could make MMP happy because they could now just crank out the second edition and never have to worry about change. I've learned my lesson here and on the other board to not ask questions because the great majority of players seem to be set in their ways, which is something that I was warned about by lots of other players. I know that I've lost this fight but at least I tried.
My other concern is this that I have received lots of advice to just make this an SSR to whatever scenario we play, but isn't that the same as saying do it, just don't change the rule book? So my follow on question here is how many groups are out there that are using the rule book as a general guideline and generating SSR's to play the game?
