Heavy Support: 0-1 Sentry Gun Battery
Shortage of manpower is often a problem for armoured units, who rely on their vehicles. They often employ remote sentry guns to free up infantry from routine tasks. These guns can be set up to defend an armoured column or a headquarters. Being immobile weapons they are not suited to use during an attack, being far too slow to position, set up and programme.
