 Magic Sheet).
+==== FIRE DAMAGE ====
+Fire only damages buildings which are
+constructed of inflammable material such as wattle
+or wood or buildings with thatch roofs. Fire damages
+an object at an ever increasing rate. Simply put this
+means that on the first turn it causes one point of
+damage and then in phase one of turn two, two
+points, turn three, three points, then four points
+etcetera, until the object is destroyed.
+As soon as 50% of the object has been destroyed by
+fire, any troops sheltering behind it or if it is part of a
+building inside it, must either evacuate the building
+or roll for casualties. Fire casualties are checked for
+by rolling one D100 per figure. If the score is 51% or
+over the figure is killed. If the figure is a character or
+monster, instead of being automatically killed, it is
+assumed to have received two wounds and must roll
+for these on its hit table. Casualties are rolled for in
+phase one of every turn thereafter, that the unit,
+character or monster remains in the building.
+=== EXTINGUISHING FIRES ===
+Extinguishing a fire in the middle of a battle is
+difficult but not impossible.
+The easy way is to use Arcane Magic. The spell
+Extinguish Fire will automatically put out the fire in
+any one building, while the spell Downpour will
+extinguish any fires that fall within its area.
+The hard way is to try and put out a fire by hand. To
+extinguish a fire that may affect one of your units, it
+must be given the order 'Break Formation, Fire'. In
+phase eight of the turn roll one D100 for each figure
+involved. On a roll of 50% or more one point of fire is
+extinguished. If in one turn all the fire damage for
+that turn is extinguished then the fire has been put
+out. Otherwise it will continue to burn according to
+its usual increasing rate until the building is
+destroyed.
+Units that are attempting to extinguish a fire,
+count as being disordered if they are attacked in the
+combat phase of the same turn, and their attacker
+enjoys the Combat Modifier for a Flank Attack.
+When a fire is extinguished or the fire fighters
+give up, they are automatically assumed to reform
+into their original formation, at no movement
+cost.
