The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is on the cliff-edge between Abbot's Cliff and Shakespeare Cliff.
- The 428th battery was equipped with three 8-inch Mark VIII naval guns.
- The complex was built in 1941 and manned by men of 520 Coastal Regiment Royal Artillery The construction of the A20 in the 1970s caused most of the battery to be covered with earth, so little can be seen on the surface, though access is possible to the underground battery plotting room.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hougham Battery article was read about 1,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 40 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
