# About This Book
*The Heavy Armory, Siege Engines, Great Guns, and Vehicle Weapons for Exodus NDS. Source: https://division5.exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/heavy-armory/about*
Sixty-five crew-served and vehicle weapons across three thousand years: rams and bombards, the great guns of the age of sail, howitzers and machine guns, tank guns, bombs, torpedoes, and guided missiles. With them: forty-one vehicles, ships, and aircraft, and fifteen kinds of wall, gate, and bunker.
**A heavy weapon is a crew, and the crew is the weapon.** A trebuchet, a thirty-two-pounder, and a howitzer all work the same way at the table: several people, a number of rounds between shots, and something large on the other end. This book gives all of them one stat line and one procedure, from the battering ram to the guided missile.
*This book stands alone.* It picks up where **The Ranged Armory**, **The Black Powder Armory**, and **The Modern Armory** stop: at the weapon one person cannot carry and fire. It requires only the Exodus NDS core rules, and it supplies what they leave to a Universe: crews, batteries, indirect fire, the two damage scales, walls to knock down, and ships, tanks, and aircraft to shoot at.
**Out of scope:** nuclear, chemical, and strategic weapons, and anything fired from one continent at another.
