Ever had a point blank catapult hit before? Once, I was fighting the Sicilian King in a siege. His unit was stuck reforming in the streets while my catapult was about a whooping 12 feet away. I ordered the catapult to fire and it point blanked 1/2 of the BG unit.

I was laughing so hard. I then pinned the BG with some cheapo slav mercs and then did two more catapult shotgunnings to finish him off.
