        That was the case in SM/TL, generally speaking (it wasn't
quite as bad as people make it out to be, but it wasn't good).

        I have to agree that giving buildings assault & FP values
is fairly silly. With bunkers it's understandable because bunkers
are going to be defended & they are firmly on one army's side.
Normal buildings are not going to have guns and they're not on
anyone's side... Just state that you can't assault or firefight
normal buildings. I don't care how many guys armed with chainswords
and pistols attack a building, it ain't coming down. Back in the
good 'ole days (ie SM/TL =) buildings could only be CC'd by titans
with close combat weapons anyway.
