Siege units have played a major roll in every armed conflict since the invention of the cannon. While the technology has changed and evolved the concept behind it remains the same.

The Erusean M110 self propelled howitzer gets the job done. While not nearly as amazing as the M270, the M110 is much cheaper and easier to produce in numbers, and can shred any ISAF commander who isn't ready. Firing at such a long range does have one disadvantage though. It's almost impossible to hit something up close. Keep your artillery batteries well defended, or they wont last long enough to get off a second volley.

As we mentioned before, the M1A2 Abrams at Rigley airbase performed phenomenally against the Erusian numbers, but there was one major key to their defeat. The Erusians had artillery support, while ISAF forces were too pinned down to take it out. The batteries of Erusian M110's were enough to silence the resistance in the airbase and secured the ISAF defeat. Here several Erusian artillery pieces can be seen setting up for the bombardment of the base.
