Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Geschut, ontworpen voor gebruik in vestingen; aangezien het niet mobiel hoeft te zijn is het meestal zwaarder en van een groter kaliber dan veldgeschut. |
Spanish ..... Artillería diseñada para ser usada en la defensa de fortalezas; debido a que no era necesario movilizarla, generalmente era más pesada y de mayor calibre que la artillería de campo. |
