[MR] [HF] Pumpkin Siege Event in Highland Foorde - October 10, 2009, for those who aren't at WoW

[Siegfried]

Just as a quick additional point, that came up during discussions of
this event:

While we were originally hoping to have SCA field siege weapons at this
event, it was pointed out by the Kingdom Siege Marshal, that our weapons
would be seen as 'jokes' in their eyes.

Their 'pumpkin chunking' siege engines are supposed to be able to throw
6-8 lb pumpkins, 334 yds.   Our siege engines are designed to throw a 1
lb ammo, 80 yds.   And therefore are not going to be even close to the
same class as what they are using.

In Service,
Siegfried
