Fogpiercer’s Artillery Shot can place an enemy in danger or send a wreck through the convoy

An Artillery Shot in Fogpiercer is advertised as a positioning decision. The developer’s example pairs it with Coal to push an enemy onto the tracks ahead of the train. Another described use destroys a leading vehicle so the wreck tumbles backward into the vehicles behind it. One card can serve two different arrangements of the battlefield.

Those examples matter because damage is not the whole consequence being presented. The first uses the train’s path as a hazard; the second uses other vehicles’ positions to extend the result. The source does not specify Coal’s precise action or the damage needed to destroy the leading vehicle, and it describes further destruction as possible. This is the developer’s illustration, not a guaranteed combo or an encounter we played.

Limited action points make order part of that choice. Enemies telegraph moves, while cranes and hacking cards are described as other ways to reposition or redirect vehicles. The listing gives no complete turn, so their costs and sequence cannot be filled in from imagination.

Preparation reaches into the deck too: locomotive, carriages and driver each add starting cards. You choose tools for the kinds of arrangements you want to exploit, then have to read the convoy the run supplies. The useful question before firing is where the target will go—and what else will be waiting there when it arrives.
