Coast Defense
In the almost two centuries before aircraft and ships became good enough to protect our coasts, the US Army was charged with coast defense.
They tried to keep up with the technology of the times to insure the safety of our nation.
They used large cannons and minefields controlled from shore to defend the ports.
The Army was simply too small to defend much else.
Today's set up used an MPC cannon, a Tyco tractor, a resin control panel, and two slush cast vehicles, the armored car being heavily modified. The troops are from Strelets.
