"The 7.5cm GebK 15 or Skoda 75mm Model 15 as it was known first entered service with the Austria-Hungarian Army. After 1918, it was also pressed into service with the Czech, Austrian and Hungarian Armies."
7.5cm GebK15 gun (Gebirgsjäger) (GE553) This means you can always rely on artillery support in areas that are too remote for conventional artillery.

The gun can be broken down into six components and carried by pack mules or, in desperate situations, by the Gebirgsjäger themselves. A large armoured gun shield has been installed to protect the crew.

"An artillery platoon with a Staff team can repeat an artillery bombardment in subsequent turns once it has ranged in on an aiming point. You do not need to roll again to range in, nor is there any penalty to the score needed to hit if your artillery Ranged In on the second or third attempts."

"The 7.5cm GebK15 gun has a Gun shield which means that even if you fail a Gun save, your opponent must make a Firepower test to destroy that team. But remember, Gun shields only provide Bulletproof cover from shots fired from in front of the gun; they do not provide protection if a team moved At The Double or from artillery bombardments."
