Editing Mek Gunz (section)

== Side Note ==
When Warhammer 40,000 was rolling around in it's 2nd Edition toddler years, it was heavily influenced by other British tabletop games of the era, including WWII-era ground combat games. [[Rick Priestley]] himself has gone on to make [[Bolt Action]] at [[Warlord Games]] in recent years. Orks have always had a bit of the German Wehrmacht in them, from their early-years "Hun" helmets to the propensity to call everything a "wagon" (Looted Wagon and Battlewagon are riffs on the german Panzerkampfwagen, literally "armoured combat vehicle").

The fact that weapons like the Traktor Kannon parallel the well-known German 8.8 cm Flak gun, and how it was used in a dual-purpose role (anti-tank and anti-aircraft) during WWII is no coincidence.
