Artillery Headquarters
The Onslaught point of interest that lets the team that holds it call an artillery strike on a position of its choosing.
Also known as artillery point, fire cover.
It is the offensive half of a map's points. Holding it turns a position the enemy is committed to, a ridge they are hull-down on or a corner they are holding, into a place they cannot simply sit in, since the shells land where your team asks rather than where a random artillery player happens to aim.
The strike is aimed and then falls after a short delay, so it displaces more than it kills: the value is in forcing a move at the moment your team wants the move, not in the damage roll.
