Description
The Battle Armor Tube Artillery (abbreviated as BA Tube Artillery) is an infantry scale artillery piece designed for use with Battle Armor. The weapon was introduced during the Jihad, but it’s unclear by whom.[1]
Game Notes
Game Play
BA Artillery uses following standard rules that normal conventional artillery weapons use; In-direct, Direct Artillery, and Counter-Battery Fire. They can use alternate ammunition which standard conventional type may use. It should be noted that BA Tube Artillery damage is fired by Squad and damage is multiplied based on remaining active Battle Armor trooper.[2]
Construction
The weapon ammunition weights 15 kg for 2 rounds and the entire weapon takes up 4 spaces in a Battle Armor. The weapon is an area effect weapon with switchable ammunition. Ammunition for the BA Tube Artillery must be purchased in 1-ton lots. While being constructed using Battle Armor construction rules, BA Artillery ammunition is treated same as Missile Based ammunition. Like the Missile based weapons for a Battle Armor, each clip of 2-rounds is treated as a single shot. Placement for the weapon is always located in the body of the armor. In 3075, the weapon system itself uses Experimental rules, while use of Artillery is listed as Advanced Rules.[3]
Notes
The name BA Tube Artillery, is the name official name used for this weapon. There is limited information regarding the BA Battle Armor background and development aside brief descriptions found in Tactical Operation's Conventional Artillery section/construction rules. First known design using this weapon is the Centaur Battle Armor, who's picture shown in the infobox. This is the only know image of the weapon. The name "BA Tube Artillery", is the originally name used for this weapon.
