How do I conquer a structure in the use of HITS?

Forum dedicated to the Scourge of War Game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Scourge of War: Waterloo follows in the footsteps of its American Civil War predecessors and takes the action to one of the most famous battles in history. It is by far the most detailed game about the final battle of the War of the Seventh Coalition.

How do I conquer a building in the use of HITS?

When using HITS, you can't see over the walls and then right click in the center of a structure.

So how do I capture a building best in the use of HITS?

in general: Playing HITS is challenging - and my favourite way to play SOW games.
You must deal with a limited view and overview of the battle.
There is a trade-off between standing on high ground (and having a great overview of the situation) and stay cose to your units to give them a command bonus and give orders quickly by couriers.

To assault a building in HITS you will want to bombard the garrison with artillery first and multiple infantry units firing from around the building.
Once the garrison is forced to retreat (and make sure no fresh enemy troops enter the building during your attack) you can move your units inside the building by clicking on it. Position yourself so you can see the building, you don't need to click on the ground of the building to capture it.
