| Designer Notes |
| Even if field artillery (sometimes also called towed or non-motorized artillery) is no longer used on the front lines, having been replaced by self-propelled guns and variou smotorized weaponry. It is still an important part of back-line artillery support. Unfortunately, the improved response time from enemy artillery makes the use of static field artillery a great liability. The current trend seems to indicate that field artillery is only used for the dfense of cities, camps, or mobile hospitals. Several neighboring Badlands counties or homesteads purchase used field artillery carriages to install around their territories. Their cheap price, their great availability, and their ease of maintenance and operation make them very attractive to individuals or organizations who have few resources and need a form of cheap protection. This has given the field artillery carriages an aura of "poor man's choice" that belies the potency of their ammunition. |
