The Mars II artillery system is the Brickville Unions primary artillery vehicle. Instead of a tank chassis it’s based on a dump truck. With this in mind it’s fairly cheap to make. Ofcourse the vehicle needed to be modified to meet the Unions standard. The windows are bulletproof and extra armour plating was added.

These are deployed when the vehicle goes into firing mode. These help to stabilize the vehicle when the howitzr fires.

Vehicle in battle mode, the cannon can be turned 360 degrees, but in most cases it will be pointed forwards to fire.

Down the vehicle is the cannon operator

At the sides are extra hatches where equipment can be stored

The turret can open to reveal the ammo. It can fire 12 round per minute, and needs 30 rounds before reload
