Filecard information:
Code Name: W.O.R.M.S.*
MAGGOT DRIVER
W.O.R.M.S. are self-propelled artillery specialists of the Cobra ground forces and are cross-trained within their blanket specialty. Any single W.O.R.M.S. can man any position on a Maggot, be it driver, gunner, loader or diesel mechanic. Under optimum conditions, a Maggot is manned by a crew of four: commander, driver, gunner and loader. Under battle conditions, it is possible for a Maggot to stay in action, maintaining fire-capability with its crew reduced to two.
"A battery of Maggots can receive target information from a central fire control vehicle and is capable of firing guided and brilliant munitions, some of which are ECM** resistant, fire-and-forget, self-targeting and proximity fuzed HEAT*** rounds. A Maggot's crew doesn't have to think too hard, which is why the only requirement for being a W.O.R.M.S. is the ability to walk while holding a bogie wheel under one arm and a 155mm shell under the other."
