The story of the fortified lonley bases .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
All Combat units opperated under an "artillary Fan" which consisted of a fortified position which held the artillary that fired protection for defence and offence. The FSB's usually also contained the resupply for the troops they covered as well as the field HQ for those troops.
