Entering a Building

Inside a Building

Warhammer Rulebook

It is not possible for units of troops to enter buildings, courtyards, Or small walled fortifications in a conventional formation. In order to do so they must break into a skirmish formation as described in the Skirmishers rules section. Although only specified types of troops can skirmish on the battlefield, any troops can skirmish in and around buildings.

Moving Into and Around Buildings

Buildings provide interesting features on the battlefield. Not only are they attractive but they can also be important from a tactical point of view. Towers might overlook the battlefield providing an excellent vantage point for archers, wizards or war machines. Troops deployed into buildings will be hard to winkle out and are able to defend their position against a much more numerous enemy. A good general knows that it is not always profitable to occupy buildings just because they are there, as it is easy to waste vital time taking a village that the enemy then ignores or circumvents. Players must weigh the tactical considerations for themselves, and decide whether or not a particular building has any tactical value.
