Mag mortars very large calibre magnetic launchers designed to lob a very heavy shell at low velocity over relatively short ranges. This means they can be more compact than X­howitzers although they sacrifice range.

Mag mortars make excellent close support artillery but can be vulnerable to enemy action, so protect them well! They are especially useful against massed targets because of their double template blast area. With D10 hits they can smash even the most substantial units.
