Designer Notes
Many artillery units have poor off-road maneuverability because of their weight, limiting a commander's options when placing his artillery support on the field. The Red Bull strider is designed to put gun batteries into hard-to-reach spots, regardless of the location chosen. The Red Bull earned the first part of its nickname because of the red ceramite plating chosen for the dorsal armor panels. Two artillery cannons jut out of its massive back like twin, grotesque horns. Each gun is automatically fed by a 12-cassette magazine, each cassette containing six shells and the liquid propellant to fire them. The Red Bull hs a classic four-legged design, close to the ground, chosen for stability. The large clawed feet enable the vehicle to handle the trickiest of ground, and their great surface area limits the ground pressure to acceptable levels. The strider's limited speed is a major problem, especially when trying to move to avoid counter-battery fire, but intelligent officers will deploy it only in extremely broken terrain where there is ample cover.
