Re:Siege weapons - 2006/05/07 22:22
you know... in 7 years i have never seen a single seige weapon on an iron mountains field. that doesn' mean we've never had em, i just havn't been there. kinda sucks. though Sir Kane did make some bad ass trebuchets for rakis one year. they jsut weren't field legal.
as for safety/padding/etc... there are two types of seige weapons, melle and projectile. each must conform to the construction requirements for whatever type it is. in the case of projectile weapons, the ammunition used must conform to the requirements of hte closest projectile type.
and then... since seige weapons are usually fairly large... add some more padding to everything just ot be sure. (personal "good idea" not actually a real rule)
on top of that, in the case of the engine itself, significant care should be taken to ensure it is also safe. make sure hte catapult isn't going to injure someone itself during its normal operation.
basically in case case of a seige weapon be EXTRA careful and make sure multiple reeves have checked the whole thing out before it hits the field. of course, seige weapons are such an attention draw you'll be hard pressed not to have a dozen people playing around with it before hand.
