You should always use the last published set of rules, if you wan't to be
cannon.

So that is SRComp -> T:UCAS -> SRComp3.

One should assume that new rules, and rules changes, were made to make the
game run better, to remove unbalancing rules, or just because the editor
want's to make a statement.

Actually, thats on if you want to be _a_ cannon, as it is impossible to be
cannon.

Just like me, I can't be "pain in the a**", but I can be "a pain in the
a**"

Unless of course you have many Shamans who draw their power from you and
have Shamanic lodges dedicated to you, for then you will join the ranks of
Coyote, Wolf, Dragon etc.

This shaman's got a bit of a poorly-chosen name for the totem he follows...
A howitzer is not a cannon :)

Really? Then what is it? It is surely a small artillery piece, and last I
heard big guns were coloqually known as cannons (hand cannons, assault
cannons).

That is, of course, if I used the slang of Teenage America. Not being
American and caring little about its teenage use of "english". Round here
where you don't use pistols, but shotguns are common, a BFG really has to be
FB before it will be called such.
Back to the point, what is a Howitzer if not a cannon? Or is it improper to
refer to artillery pieces as cannons?
