The cost of boiling oil is 20 points for a wall section (ie, for every 120mm of wall). Either note down which wall sections are provided with oil or use a counter to indicate where oil has been placed. If boiling oil is provided, any unit placed on that section can make use of it. However, each section's oil can only be used once in the entire game: once used it is expended. À defending unit can use the oil to ‘shoot at enemy employing ladders 10 charge home. Boiling oil shots are in addition to any other shooting the unit may have. The defending unit gets one boiling oil shot in total regardiess ofthe number of stands and no armour roll is permitted for any hits inflicted (ie, roll one dice needing 10 score a hit). Any charging enemy. unit that suffers one or more hits from boiling oil will not complete its charge, is automatically driven back to its Starting position and becomes confused. "
