== Description ==
The Great Cannons of the Imperial Gunnery School are the terror of the Empire's foes. Their thunderous fire sends iron balls hammering into the ranks of enemy warriors, each impact ploughing bloody furrows through tightly packed regiments. Even the mightiest creatures cannot ignore the power of a Great Cannon, as was ably demonstrated at the Siege of Middenheim, when Master Gunner Pumhart von Steyr decapitated a raging Dragon with a single well-placed shot.
== Attributes ==
== Strategy ==
The Great Cannon excels at dealing armor piercing damage at a high range. It has an easier time hitting large targets due to their size so enemy heavy cav, and monsters should be natural targets. That being said, they can still tear up armored infantry. They are quite accurate (not as accurate as the Dwarf cannon) so can be used to snipe or at least damage enemy Lords from afar.
