Wooden buildings be- come Rubble and ae never Guted. Gutted Build- ings ar only created during the RePh ofthe CG or by FSR. Such buildings are represented by Gutted markers placed in any hex of the building. Gutted buildings are still concealment, Ambush and Rally 2.861 LOCATIONS AND TEM: A Gusted building has only a ground level Location, which is consi cred rubble within the builing depiction only, thus allowing Bypass as ia normal building. 2.4862 FLAME/BLAZE/KINDLING: Guted build- ings cannot be Kindled nor are they Burable Ter- 22863 HEIGHT: A Gatted Building retains its origi- ‘nal height for LOS purposes (unless rubble the walls ae sil sanding), 2.864 ROOFLESS: A Gutted building or Factory Location isa Roofless Location. 2.87 MOTORWAY BRIDGE: HexesT3 through T25 ‘comprise the motorway (highway) ramp and bridge at Amor, These roadway hexes are subject o se¥- ral special rules and restrictions 2.871 LOCATIONS: Hexes T3 through TI have road Locations only; T14is Bridge/Paved Road; TIS.

In fact, the Germans used a great many duns in their efforts to wipe ut the British in Arnhem, but largely in “stonks” throughout the Brtsh zone rather than in pointed attacks on specific positions. Thus, the OBA, though heavy, was largely in- discriminate, and is best rep resented by Bombardment. ‘Narrow Road in hex G4Steeple in hex L2 BRITISH RADIO CONTACT: (One of the largest command disappointments of the Mar- ket Garden operation was the difficulty of communication between the participating Units.
