Boiling Oil

Boiling Oil: "Have some nice hot oil," said the smiling sergeant. When poured from atop a castle wall, flaming oil will sweep a 2" path downward, killing all figures within it; and at the base of the wall the flaming oil will form a puddle 4" wide by 3" deep, which will also kill all figures in its area. It will burn for three turns, preventing any troops from entering the area it lies on. Any wooden structure struck by flaming oil will begin to burn immediately (exceptions: ladders and peak-roofed rams) and must be abandoned next turn. Thereafter, the wooden structure will burn for five turns and then removed from play as completely destroyed.
