"Wascally Womans siege." Topic

Despite the date being wrong….for which the miscreant responsible will be severely beaten with a feather duster…. the Group North Open Day (which is on the 28th of this month….not the 29th) is an excellent and very friendly event held in the north of ADELAIDE South Australia. It has grown year by year and is always worth while attending. Food, drinks, coffee etc available, plus of course Andrew of Military Hobbies….and the ever charming "Please hand over your money" Nic Robson of Eureka…who's offerings always attract a crowd.

I will be running an Ancient siege battle set in Spain. Those Wascally Womans are trying to take a hill top town perched on a precipitous mountain. Will the siege tower make it to the wall? Will the Romans in torteus get those ladders up and be able to assault?

Will Spanish prayers to the golden bull, turn the attackers back? Or will the High Priestess have a large rock fall on her head as the attackers put down a barrage of ballistae fire?

All will be revealed as the dice roll relentlessly on.

SOME ADDITIONAL PLAYERS would be welcome. If any players from TMP are attending, I'd enjoy the company of some additional players. Our LLes is out of contact, and Big Trev is somewhere on tour in darkest Africa, so its just Baldric and I.

Who's the Woman general, Biggus Dickus?

And more importantly, have they 'weleased Woger?'

Its Biggus Dickus Magnus now days! He sort of rose from the ranks.

An' we haff not weleased Woger. He hass become a tourwist attraction in the dungwons.

Let me thpeak to them I may be of thome athithtance if there ith a thudden crithith!

I hope there won't be any Samaritans there.

"Those Wascally Womans are trying to take a hill top town perched on a precipitous mountain".

Trying to take a hill? We need to talk about Masada Mal! It's not a matter of "if", but a matter of "when".

Hi Mal,

I'll see you on the day but won't be there until midday or so. Save Woderwic!

Should we ask Biggus if he "sort of rose from the ranks"

A wose by any other name…

I feel like I walked in on a conversation between Elmer Fudd & Barbara Walters.

Fwends Womans an Countrymens, I haf cum t'bury Juwdas Iscariwot, not to pwaise him. For he doth mock hith senyaws an make mewwy at there expwence.

Huw…it will be good to see you. I have tried to email you several times but the messages always bounce, and you never answer that darned mobile!

The server must think you're sending Junkmail! I'll remedy that.

Ah, yes, the Wife of Bwian, I wemember it well. chuckling along to the next topic…

"Bwian was Mawwied?"

No…no….it wath about his wiiife and times.

Hello group. Does anyone know of a decent set of seige rules for the ancient period? Medival period would be good to I would just adjust for the different time period.
