OK, I know it can setup in a building, but mostly, can a mtr and/or MTR fire from a building? Darn if I can remember this nor find the silly rule that spells it out.

(I didn't mean to offend anyone by calling the rules "silly." I understand no ASL rules are to be called "silly." This was just a typo...you'll have to excuse my fingers...I'll try harder next time...if my Norwegians hold up, that is...or there may not be a next time!)

Thanks! :p

Only from rooftop.. main rule is not fire with mtr if something above your unit.. in VOGT/RB from roofless builtding locations

May be placed behind the building with a spotter in the building, even on upstairs locations

All is written in specific mortar rule in chapter C9. MORTARS and B23.93 GUNS inside B23. BUILDINGS chapter

It may set up in a building even though it can't fire from one. There are some scenarios with stupid bug hunt sleaze where you HIP the MTR in a building and pop out for a last-turn surprise.

The rule is placed in the... chapter B about Buildings section:
B23.423 GUNS: No weapon depicted on a 5/8" counter may occupy an upper level of a building [EXC: Mortars (23.85); Fortified Building (23.92)]. A non-vehicular weapon on a 5/8" counter may be set up or pushed into a building/rubble only if it is either a small target (C2.271) or an AT/INF Gun that is not a large target. Mortar fire, and MG/Gun attacks vs Aerial targets, are not allowed from a non-rooftop building Location.
and:
B23.85 GUNS: No 5/8" counter weapon may occupy a rooftop, except for a mortar of ≤ 82mm which must be dm to be portaged to/from the rooftop (or between different Locations of it). Such mortars may fire from those rooftops. A Gun may never be Emplaced (C11.2) on a Rooftop.
