No, I just don't ignore the part of .14 that specifically calls out you must fulfill the requirements of .11. That is what is being ignored, nothing else. With the wording of .14, .11 is a part of the rule, and .11 must be fulfilled.
Like I said, we continue to talk past each other. I have not ignored any part of any rule. You admit that you ignore part of A26.14, specifially the part that states you must fulfill A26.11.
I'm not ignoring .11 either, it says occupy a building to control it (and a bunch of other things). That occupation is defined in .14 (.11 even points you to the .14 rules paragraph).
I'll give it one last stab.
In A26.14 you incorrectly read the first statement to mean you can be in any building hex in order to control a building.
No, I don't incorrectly read it, that's what it plainly says. Any of the hexes of the building in question, at any level (non-sub and non-roof). Rearrange it all you want, but you can't pick and choose which requirements apply, or combine them in any way you choose. All three requirements combined as one composite requirement with three parts, not (at any building level (in any hex)) but rather ((at any level) (in any hex) (of a building)).
I don't know where you're getting the idea that you can rearrange the sentence to get the meaning you are using.
A26.14 actually states you can be in any level of a building, and that level can be in any hex of that building.
Er, no it doesn't. It says: "at any non-rooftop, non-subterranean level in any hex of a building can gain Control of the building".
It does not state that you can be in any level of a building hex.
Er, yes it does. It says: "at any non-rooftop, non-subterranean level in any hex of a building can gain Control of the building".
There is a difference. The marketplace is the prime example. The open ground Location is a level in the building hex, it is not a level of the building, in that hex. There is no ground level building in that hex.
Actually the marketplace is defined as a building with an odd feature: "Building hex 12R7 is unique in that it has no building obstacle at ground level". It doesn't say it has no ground level building location, just that it's not an obstacle.
In the mortar case, the upper level of the building has been rubbled.
It is still a level of the building.
It is a level of the building Hex.
It is no longer a building Location.
Since it is a upper level of the building, Guns are prohibited (with exceptions as listed).
If the rubble location were an upper level of the building, it would have to be a building location as well. Rubble is clearly removed from being a building location upon it's creation. You can't have two locations at that level, one building and one non-building. So the rubble location isn't "IN" the building.
The rubble location/level is still in the building hex. (Neither of us has been arguing against it either way.)
It is no longer a building location, which is why it can't also be a building level. You can't have it both ways, a location at some level can't be a building level and not a building location. It can however exist in a building hex above other building levels/locations. (Or below the building, but then it wouldn't qualify for control of the building.)
