[MR] Siege Weapons

[Towey, Brian]

Agreed!  A model suitable for Pennsic would not be good at the Punkin
Chunkin, and vice versa.

But, we could exhibit both classes of machine at both events.  Can you
imagine a shooting gallery, with a combat-legal engine throwing foam "rocks"
at a line of armored fighters?  What a fund raiser!  10 bucks a shot, step
right up.

I would be willing to spend a Saturday building either kind.  Can't wait to
see your plans.

Your servant,

Charles Fleming
