History & Background (Dossier)

The crew will frequently dismount to take cover in prepared firing sites. The entire massed battery can be fired remotely. If they survive counter battery fire, the crews remount and displace to the new firing location, to set up again and repeat the process. The auto loader makes sure they are ready once they set up in their new location. Each launcher can coordinate artillery fire orders within the Athune Fusilier Regiments.
