I say!

A well-constructed, and seemingly quite effective little siege engine you have there! Perhaps a Trebuchet category is officially in order! As to the horse, I had assumed it was to spread pestilence, yes - it was odd that they pictured a horse, as one would generally value them as a mount first and food second. Diseased cattle from pillaged areas nearby were far more common, and could spread anthrax and the like.

As for the Legos, Shoofle, Randall's youngest brother, and I, have been known to enjoy having a couple light-hearted wargames with what remains of our childhood Lego collections, which ought to be available here and here. The rules are at brikwars.com and any degree of nerddom can be supported.

As for the other trebuchet, it's just Bangarang, as in the exclamation from the movie Hook, and presumably translates to "totally awesome." Although the Bangarang does have a certain ring to it...--James. 08:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

brikwars.com looks cool, I'm going to have to try it. "The" has been deleted. -- Moose Hole 15:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, to what extent was this scaled from Bangarang, what were the weights generally like on your projectiles and weights (or, say, how big were the rocks you were throwing, and what was the arc like when you got a good shot off? --James. 08:43, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
