I will be happy to lend any help you might require. I was a Field Artillery
Officer and have some experience in artillery ranges and safety. I commanded
two artillery batteries and was a battalion fire direction officer. Served
as live fire safety officer more times than I care to remember.

Subject: [MR] Siege Weapons
Greetings from Lord Mungoe McKlinchey
I was designated to act as Kingdom Siege Marshal By the Earl Marshal at
Kingdom Crusade. As there has been a lot of message traffic concerning siege
weapons I thought I would come out of the shadows and talk a little about
it.
I wrote up Siege Weapon Rules and have them circulating to key figures in
the Kingdom: The King, Earl Marshal, Sir THornbrandt, Sir Duncan, the
Kingdom MOL, and a few others. As these are proposed rules they are subject
to change, but they are based on the Society rules with a few things thrown
in. I have no problem with copies being made by these good gentles.
We are trying to get a web page up at the Kingdom Marshal Page, but are
having no luck hearing back from the Web minister, and I noticed that the
whole Marshal's page is kinda hosed up. If the boss (Earl Marshal) has no
beef I will forward copies of the rules, and the paper I wrote for War
College. I have been doing a lot of work on this, I have just not had the
means to get it out to the populace en mass through the Web Page.
So, I figure that having a meeting of some sort at 12th night, a class at
University, and a opening event some time in April is the plan I am going to
follow to get things rolling.
Some things to think about as you get going of desighn and building:
Uniformity of desighn-if we can all be on the same blue prints with the
same amo, things are interchangable if something breaks.
Type of Engine-Trebs and ballista- Trebs work best if the amo bounces
around and richocets off the enemy. Direct fire weapons (Balista) are very
good for shooting into a mass and breaking up formations.
Amo-no greater then 1 pound, has to be red. Fighters have to have a easy
way to distinguish seige amo that kills through a shield. "If it is red, you
are dead."
Frindly fire-If you are planning on firing over the heads of our own
people, you best make sure you have the range. You do not want to kill a
Duke by accident, it makes them grumpy.
Armor-you will have to still wear minimum as do the Archers.
Desighn-check with me before blowing money on materials. It is easier to
make changes on paper then 2x4's.
