[Ansteorra] Siege Weapons at Gulf War XI

[Scarhart]

I agree with Dore that more spotters would be helpful. The Coastal
ballistae were fairly efficient inside the castle and had good shot
coordination; the trebuchet was fun although we had trouble keeping
people out of the long sling path.

We had more difficulty with the latter during the assault on the castle,
actually, than the defense. That seems strange considering we had much
more room to work with. But too many fighters seemed unaware of the
engines at all.

On a final note, lobbing rocks at the enemy was cool (although not quite
as much fun for me as the charge into the gates!).

Cheers,

Andrew Scarhart

Were they too hard, too soft, too complicated, not safe enough, unsafe, or did your machine have a catastrophic defect and I am not aware of it?  I ask you to take a minute and email me at ldruiz at netzero.net so I can put this all in my report to Kingdom and Society so we can have an even more enjoyable war next year.
