If you have soldiers inside a building it becomes transparent and it is very difficult to target the attic. Not just any top floor, it has to be an attic. The only way to target it is when the camera is below the floor. Would it be possible to select the floor when you target a building with a little menu just like a move order? I do get the exit button, but only when I save at the end of the round.

Thanks for the replies. I tried the scenario again and this time I was able to supress them enough to finish them off with minimal casualties. I noticed something that may be a bug: if you have soldiers inside a building it becomes transparent and it is very difficult to target the attic. Not just any top floor, it has to be an attic. The only way to target it is when the camera is below the floor. Once I figured this out my supressing fire became a lot more effective and I could finally throw HE at them. Here is the exact situation, it's from the Vierville battle: Blue lines are my forces, a platoon of paratroopers. Red are (suspected) enemy positions. One command team in the top floor of the manor and a handfull of guys across the street. Getting into the building was no problem, the part I was having trouble with was moving up to the third floor. But what is the most effective order to close with and destroy a supressed enemy: quick, fast, hunt or assault? I meant using satchel charges from pioneers/paratroopers. It would be very usefull in situations like this, where you control the first floor but the enemy is holding the top floors. Or you could blow up a building while retreating, to deny it to the opponent.

I've been playing this game for a while now but there is one thing I'm still having problems with: clearing out buildings. I've just played a game where a German command team was hiding on the third floor of a building and when I try to flush them out they kill my men in seconds. It doesn't matter if I order them to go fast, quick, slow or hunt, once they are spotted one guy with an mp40 kills the entire squad. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of, suppressing them does absolutely nothing, the bazookas and stuarts refuse to hit the third floor, mortars don't hurt them, even the artillery didn't do much damage and I can't ignore them because the building is an objective. So far the only things that work are destroying the entire building with massive artillery or sending in an entire platoon hoping I have more men than they have bullets. Both ways seem like a huge waste to deal with 4 guys. So what is the best way to deal with a situation like this? I know engineers can blow up walls, but is there a way to demolish the entire building?
