Hi!
When this rule was introduced it was done so to avoid the unrealistic
practice of HQ's of making mad "solo" dashes to objectives in buildings
then putting a few "token" units in front to avoid fire. A building in
it of itself is a target, so it doesn't matter whats in it the opposing
player may target it.
Outside, you cant tell whose-who so the standard rule applies. Not that
you know that a HQ may be in a building, but as said before buildings
are defensive structures that invite fire, therefore, it doesn't matter
whats in them. It's obvious to the opponent that the building is a prime
target regardless of contents.
