In GURPS: Twilight - 2000 you, too, can be a nuclear power!
An M109A4 runs $567,000. An M198 towed gun runs $530,000 and a 5-ton to drag it around adds $41,000.
A 155mm XM454 AFAP round is $4,991,250.
So you need $5,558,250 for the track and one round. $5,562,250 to go wheeled.
Starting wealth is $5,000, so you need 1112.45 times starting wealth to buy into this dream.
That's 50 points for Filthy Rich to get $500,000. Another 25 gets the first level of Multimillionaire and $5,000,000. Another couple (2) points adds another $1,000,000 getting you a total of $6,000,000 for 77 points and you now command a howitzer and a single round W48 warhead.
It's scary that this is technically possible if a player thinks ahead a little bit.
UPDATE:
The cheap route is to get a 152mm D-20 towed howitzer for $150,000, a deuce-and-a-half for $22,000 to drag it around and a 3BV3 round for $5,682,937.50. Wait; that's not cheaper at all!
