Schiltrom, how I love it!

[Askthepizzaguy]

I might suggest that catapults, trebuchets, and other forms of artillery render the idea of schiltroms quite useless.

Static targets clumped together? Bad idea, there cowboy. The 500 pound flaming rocks which crush men by the dozen render schiltroms of any kind obsolete. But I consider artillery in the field to be a drag on the ability to march, and therefore a liability in all but seige situations.
