Greetings all, Here are a few more military vehicles I've built recently. The Raider and Invader light armored vehicles rely on their size, low profile, and speed to keep their crew safe - their armor will defeat small arms and shrapnel, but offers (...)

I do have a question however, isn't a howitzer some form of mortar? In the game Age (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
