[Steppes] Re: [Elfsea] Fwd: Siege Weapons

[arcusironwyrm at juno.com]

Well, that's not as easy as most authorizations just because the 
equipment is so large to haul out somewhere to set up, and you 
must demonstrate your knowledge & familiarity of both rules 
and equipment to become authorized.  Start by reading the 
"Complete Participants Handbook" section 7 "siege weapons 
conventions and equipment standards", then I would check with 
Lord Riccairdo our central regional siege marshal for resent updates.

At one time Lothar, Jacques & myself were all authorizing siege 
marshals within the Steppes area and would hold authorizing classes 
for interested folks, however that interest had waned the last few 
years and we stopped.  We could probably be encouraged to get 
ourselves back up to speed on the rules and hold some more should 
we get a group of interested parties.  

I'll be glad to discuss it with them and see what we can come up 
with? 

Regards,
