FAQ and historical inaccuracies: some odd comments

[Hurin_Rules]

Take note of the first part... CF doesn't say that it is historically accurate at all, he says it is possible. And possible it certainly is.

Saying something is possible is a far cry from depicting a unit that regularly uses a weapons system in that fashion in combat. I'm sure it was possible for ancient cavalry archers to ride their horses backwards so they could fire arrows from them. But there is no evidence they did. (The Parthians turned in their saddles, they didn't ride their horses backwards, and they certainly didn't do it regularly.)

So I can easily imagine some people gettingthe idea to shoot a ballista like that. Would they have done it a lot? Doubt it. Would it have been done at some point? Think so.

Did they do it regularly like they do in the game? Definitely not.
