Howitzer

(image)

Howitzers, also called siege artillery, make up less numerous yet vital part of an artillery force. They are the key to defeating a enemy that is being besieged without having to sacrifice countless lives in a frontal assault. The thundering of these 24-pounder guns can tear walls down and turn mighty fortresses into piles of rubble and dust.
(NOTE: Damaged artillery cannot be healed by Medics or Field Hospitals)
