Just a mortar on wheels that requires chemfuel to move, would be a nice alternative to having to use drop pods to transport resources for mortars.

Just an idea.

When I saw the subject line, I thought this was going to be an outlandish request, but actually now that you describe it, somebody could probably do something pretty cool without getting too complicated.

Mortar, that moves, that takes chemfuel, maybe it fires and reloads faster than a normal mortar, maybe the person manning it has bonus armor, maybe you can put it in a caravan and it can carry weight like a pack animal.

Could be fun.

I can see this as a lifesaver for raids. Also some suggestions

Have it be a deployable so that you don't have pawns shooting on the move

A direct fire cannon version that is easier to aim, but enemies will be in line of sight of you. More effective against buildings for breaching than anti-personnel.

Muffalo drawn version if players don't have/don't want to waste* chemfuel.

Mobile shell carrier that can get hitched to the unit or Muffalo.

*Edit, brain fart :P

Lets think big ! :-))
I want a SheVa (from John Ringo's Invasion) tank.
5x5 fields, on each corner a mannable mashinegun, and a mortar in the middle. Fueled with uranium !
