Nine types of heavies:
Early Siege Mortar - Useful against fixed positions but too slow to support a field army.
Columbiad - Enormous guns, such as the Rodman, firing equally enormous shells.
Long Tom - Not merely the guns made famous by the Boers but also any heavy naval gun of the period pushed into service as a field artillery piece.
Heavy Mortar - 25cm to 42cm mortars.
Railroad Artillery - The big guns of WWI.
Heavy Howitzer - Like the modern howitzer, only bigger.
Dora - 80cm is about two and a half feet.
V2 - Strategic range artillery with punch.
Long Gustav - A very, very, very large gun.
