Tachanka

(image)

The fact that orces prefer to go war without heavy equipment doesn't mean that goblins are ready to follow them without their favorite mechs. So they developed a tachanka - a light ballista, mounted on a chariot. This weapon is able to move on par with the light infantry and shoot without interrupting the movement. Unfortunately, there is already no place for the second crew member in the chariot. Goblins still prefer to work in pairs, so that everyone simply takes his own tachanka. The Royal Army had already experienced the power of these mobile weapons and military engineers were instructed to develop a domestic counterpart. But they did not succeed - all of prototypes were either disproportionately expensive, or unsafe for use. It seems that only a nation with a very low salaries and total indifference to the lives of it's soldiers can use such technique.
