−	~~== 3. Naval Warfare & Coastal Siege ==~~
−	The Naval theatre in ''Holdfast'' focuses on ship-to-ship combat and amphibious assaults. Unlike the land-based factions, the Naval meta relies heavily on crew synergy and the management of high-caliber broadside cannons.
−
−	~~=== Naval-Specific Classes ===~~
−	~~The effectiveness of a vessel is determined by the composition of its crew. Each role is vital for maintaining the ship's integrity and firepower.~~

−	~~== 4. Artillery Systems ==~~
−	~~Artillery serves as the primary force multiplier in both the Napoleonic and Frontlines eras. Mastery of these systems requires an understanding of range, projectile types, and crew coordination.~~
−
−	~~=== Napoleonic Ordnance ===~~
−	~~In the ''Nations At War'' era, artillery is categorized by mobility and projectile versatility:~~
−
−	* '''Field Guns:''' Versatile cannons that can fire '''Round Shot''' (long-range anti-structure/infantry) or '''Canister Shot''' (short-range "shotgun" blast for clearing lines).
−	* '''Howitzers:''' Designed for high-arc trajectories, allowing crews to fire over hills or fortifications using '''Explosive Shells'''.
−	* '''Mortars:''' Stationary emplacements used primarily in sieges to rain fire on fixed positions.
−	* '''Rocket Launchers (British Exclusive):''' While historically inaccurate in precision, they provide massive psychological pressure and area-of-effect damage.
−
−	~~=== Frontlines Heavy Weaponry ===~~
−	~~In the ''World War I'' era, artillery becomes more destructive and requires specific "spotting" to be effective:~~
−
−	* '''Field Howitzers:''' High-yield explosives capable of leveled-earth destruction. Requires an '''Artilleryman''' to load and a teammate to assist with ranging.
−	* '''Heavy Machine Guns (HMG):''' Fixed positions (such as the MG08 or Vickers) that provide devastating suppressive fire.
−	* '''Anti-Tank/Fortification Guns:''' Direct-fire cannons designed to neutralize heavy cover and fortified bunkers.
