Infantry in Buildings and indirect fire. Empty Infantry in Buildings and indirect fire.

When firing indirect HE fire using the spotter round etc. are infantry in buildings allocated hits/potential pins if they fall within the required distance, the same as any other unit? If so, are they considered in better cover than say a unit behind a low wall.

Thanks

Yes, if the building they are in is within the radius of a successfull barrage, they are subjected to direct and pinning hits.
If more that one unit is in the building just randomize the hits.
Cover saves in normal buildings is 4+.

EDITED: As for walls: if the spotter round lands behind the wall, the treat them as in the open. (this is a house rule. By the book you have hard cover)

Troops get cover save for whatever cover they are in as rules are written. Where the spotter round lands makes no difference. The barrage lands in the entire area, the spotter marks the location of the centre, that is all. If you decide to differentiate due to direction of spotter round to target, then it's a house rule. We class troops behind walls as it soft cover to rounds landing behind, but again... that's a house rule and not strictly rules as written.

Also troops are hit by proximity to spotter round location in a building, same as all troops, not by randomization unless two units are at the same distance.
