Around here combines have two functions. To farm us with our farming and to use like tanks in battles that erupt between rural towns. Painted black before battle, if there's time. Decked out with slits to fire guns threw while surrounded by a bullet-deflecting steel plate. Long lances to impale runners. Massive metal attachments and add-ons that make combines into house destroying ramming machines. The most common attempted defenses against these farm service weapons are burying remote detonation explosives in yards, casting flammables all over the combine from a rooftop and then setting it on fire.
