----- Carries artillery and supplies into battle -----
Point Value: 1
Notes:
A few pieces of artillery can make short work of most opponents, but artillery alone moves slowly and has a relatively low capacity for fuel and ammunition. The platform moves rather quickly, stores any kind of ammunition, and can carry dozens of guns. Platforms can even be equipped to produce simple explosives during a battle!
