Thanks for your replies.

I asked the question because I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the Russians used smoke shells (which are incendiary by nature) to set fire to buildings during the Chechnya War, especially during the Battle of Groznyy - which I played as a random battle the other day.

As it was, I was able to suppress the Chechens with ‘shmel’/artillery/rocket fire (and tank fire from a safe distance) and then attack their buildings with infantry protected by smoke screens.

P.S. I can’t remember where I read about the smoke shells being used as incendiaries and so I’m not sure whether it was true or not.
