Building Control on Board 4

[Reepicheep]

Quick question I'm wondering if someone can help me with. A scenario I'm playing awards, amongst other things, 2 CVP for each building controlled at scenario end.

Question: On Board 4, does the building in hex X8 qualify as a seperate building from the building in hex Y9?

 

[Robin Reeve]

I would say yes.
They are not connected, and a unit in X8 should benefit from the +2 TEM...
I do find X8 bdg something that oughtn't exist... but I believe it is the only example on ASL boards - and that mapboard art is nearly 30 years old now (1976...).

I love the "doghouse"!

Everytime I play a scenario with action in that area of board 4, I have this image of 3 squads, a leader, and a couple MG's crammed into an 8x8 building, and actually being able to retain concealment.

Oops, meant to include this rules reference on Reepicheep's question, but forgot.

The "doghouse" (4X8) is mentioned in the EX under B.1. It is a building hex, albeit a strange one.

Russians were used to live in such restricted places: only the Nomenklatura lived in Datchas that were 40 meters wide...

isn't there some big underground complex under that hex and the "building" represents the above-ground access point.

Plenty of room for the 3 MMCs+leaders+several sw's.

I hate that building hex.

B.1 rules that it is a seperate building

think of a SSR definig it as having a cellar and a 1st level and you have the typical German rowhouse (home of 3-5 P family, cost depending on location 150-350 T€).

The small houses are great for saving heating energy, avoiding climatic catastrophe. But if you are visited by 3 squads, 4 SMC and some SW the might be a bit small...
let alone overstacking
