ARMED FORCES OF ROSKANA
Artillery
59mm Field Mortar
59mm mortar system, designed and intended for the use of infantry at the platoon level for softening up infantry positions and preparatory bombardments in advance of a attack. Effective primarily against light vehicles and infantry, basically useless against anything without an open top or thin skin. Can be carried by infantry. Relativley recent development, produced from 1932 to the present.
75mm Field Gun
Towed field artillery, relatively old, produced by Tanus Arms. The 75mm field gun is used primarily at the company level in indirect fire roles, and direct fire in some cases, for anti-tank and anti-vehicle, or anti-fortification roles. Originally designed in 1898, and produced in 1904 to 1916, the guns are considered presently to be close to obsolete in their use against modern forces, as their roles can easily be filled by Howitzers of larger caliber with modern shells.
90mm Field Gun
A relatively small number of field guns of the 105mm were produced, and have seen limited use due to the small number on hand. They're more able than the 75mm guns, but there just are not many of them. They were designed and made in the same timeframe as the 75mm systems.
107mm Howitzer System
107mm Howitzer System, developed by B&A Armories. It is typically towed by either Trucks, or Vekydeer, Horses, or sometimes Tankettes. It was designed in 1930, and has been produced since.
130mm Howitzer System
Developed by B&A Armories like the 107mm system, the 130mm system offers greater striking power at longer rangers. It is inadvisable to tow this without use of trucks or tankettes, but it can be done with Vekydeer. Designed in 1935, it entered production in 1936.
175mm Siege Howitzers
Large anti-fortification and anti-structure guns, designed to destroy structures and fortified positions with powerful shells, able to be moved on trucks or tankettes, but virtually impossible to move otherwise due to its weight. The 175mm Siege Guns were made by B&A Armories, and designed in 1929. Only a handful were made, but more are now in production.

Anti-Air Artillery
Maxsin Mounted AA assembly
A relatively cheap assemblage of machine guns mounted on a pole produced in response to the advent of biplanes, it has four guns, each fed by a box of belted ammunition. It's useful for defending at short ranges and can be used against infantry, but it is nearly useless for defending against high-flying aircraft. It fires 7.62x54RS.
23mm Autocannon
A slow-firing anti-aircraft autocannon, developed in 1930, produced in numbers adequate for frontline heavy infantry units, but is relatively uncommon because of the, until recently, low volume of aircraft utilized in combat.
40mm Autocannon
A relatively new anti-aircraft autocannon was developed in 1935 to provide medium to long-range defense against aircraft, by allowing for infantry forces to engage incoming aircraft. It has a faster rate of fire than the 23mm Autocannon, and is being produced in substantial number to replace it.
92mm Flak Gun
Recently designed, the 92mm flak gun was developed to engage high-flying aircraft using an airburst fragmentation shell to target bombers and aircraft flying at high altitudes. It can pull double duty as a anti-tank weapon due to the weapons design being similar to high-velocity anti-tank guns, though this is generally only a secondary purpose. It is usually towed. Developed by B&A armories in 1935.
