As someone else has pionted out, it's on page 15 of the rules,
battlewagons can carry one infantry unit, while the battle-fortresses
can carry 4.

What I am curious about is how other people handle field artillery.
It is catagorized as infantry so I assumed that it could be carryed by
battlewagons as with normal infantry. But I can see it argued both
ways: i.e. you could say that something like a splatta gun or
squig catapult is too large to fit on a battlewagon, or you could simply
assume the gun is being towed. The rules don't make any mention
anything about towing field gunx, but they also make no distinction
between field guns and infantry (except in stats). What do others think?
