Editing M109 Howitzer (section)

==British Variant==

Inferior to the US version, the British only deploy their 109 batteries of 2, 4 or 8, adjusting the price. For 5, 10 or 20 points, you gain access to a 4AT gun with 2+ firepower, a mediocre improvement over the Abbot considering how the price is almost double. The M109 is a divisional asset, and only one unit can be brought afield. 

Unlike the American version, Brits do not have access to fancy ammunition types or laser-guided projectiles and must instead rely on the raw firepower of such monsters. And monsters they are indeed. For 21 points, you gain access to a template which hits NATO units on a 2+ (after ranging in on a 2+) with a 33% chance to destroy tanks and 18.5% chance to bail thanks with its 2+ firepower. However, the inflexible template means that this investment is rendered mute if your opponent spaces out his units. 

Ironically, the M109 can be fielded as a frontline battle tank through the direct fire profile's respectable 36". Insane troll logic aside, their low cost (2.5 per vehicle) makes them comparable to a substitute AVRE: incapable of engaging tanks but utterly pulverizing infantry while comfortably engaging armored vehicles. 

Due to this incredibly niche role which is performed better by the Harrier or by FRONTLINE COMBAT UNITS, consider the M109 suitable only for larger games and games where you'd like to give your opponent a nice, big surprise! Do not consider the M109 if you are a grizzled power gamer or build sensible lists with efficient units.

Do note that despite the above sales pitch, the British M109 is still overcosted compared to the Abbot given that the Brits have plenty of anti-armor in their arsenal, whether via tanks or Milans. Artillery traditionally fulfills the anti-infantry and utility role in a British list, making the overcosted M109 a terrible choice compared to F432 Mortar Carriers or the Abbot.
