Artillery tractors for AoT

 I have long wanted to add tracked artillery tractors to AoT to be able to tow howitzers to light woods.

Finally I’ve got them — RSO by Plastic Soldier, Comintern by Zebrano (both painted by Alex Pervookhin).



Now we are thinking about unit cards.

So far, the ideas are:

1) Transport type, but moving as a light tank.

2) Movement 2 hexes. That is, they will drive 4 hexes along the road, even with a gun towed, and only 1 hex per turn to light woods.

3) Comintern and RSO can also transport ammunition, with two times less capacity than trucks - 3 ammo per tractor.

4) Unit strength — 3 pieces.

5) Cost - 5 points for an empty one, 8 points if loaded with ammo.
