----- V-2 rocket launcher, use against cities and airbases -----
Notes:
The fearsome V-2 rocket makes its first appearance in the fall of 1944. A ballistic missile with a 200-mile range, there is no way to defend any unit within the range of a mobile launcher. The apparatus is easily wrecked or captured, so the Germans need to keep their launchers safely back from the front lines, and to move them around so as to avoid being targeted by Allied bombers. Launchers `produce' their own missiles, but only a couple each turn, which limits the number of attacks possible.
