'''Tidewall Ramparts''' are a type of prefabricated fortification used by the [[Tau]]. Delivered to a planet in compartments and assembled on the field, the Tidewall enormous mobile fortification with enough firepower to see off entire squadrons of enemy tanks. TTidewall Tidewall Rampart is an awesome demonstration of the advanced tech and forward-thinking of the [[Tau Empire]]. Central to this strongpoint is the '''Tidewall Gunrig'''; a twin-linked [[railgun]] that scans constantly for enemies, discharging ammunition at incredible velocities to obliterate anything that moves. The [[Drone]]port collects and collates data to optimise the killing potential of the Gunrig, and the networked AI actively boosts the energy barrier produced by the Shieldline - enemy fire is simply turned back upon the foe.{{Fn|1}}
