Local Special Ability
If this slot is not ready, all this unit's
figure special abilities are cancelled
(they do not function even if ready) and it rolls 3 less dice (minimum 0)
during ranged combat attacks.
Notes from Drake the Lesser
- This special ability appears on slots occupied by the Roman Steam
Ballistas. Its purpose is to reflect the fact that the ballista provides
most of the power to the unit, even though the unit's special ability
icons are on slots for the crew.
- Artillery Machine only disables figure special abilities. Because
Siege Defense is a unit ability, it still applies even
if the ballista has been removed.
- Because of Artillery Machine, the Steam Ballista units are especically
vulnerable to attacks using Death Touch Master.
