Seiges: Proof that fire arrows do work.

[Didz]

I thought I'd lost these images but, thanks to Sinan, I just rediscovered them hiding in my /tgas folder.

They document the victory of flaming arrows over wooden seige equipment. Contrary to the claims made by some members it proves they do work.

The First Wave: Swiss Guard in the service of the pope.

Don't worry lads those fire arrows are useless - never hit a thing.

Tell that to Hugo - damned polyester uniforms.

Damn! now thats not supposed to happen. I knew I should have volunteered for the ladder corps.

There goes the Papal seige tower. That'll teach them to use oil based paint.

And they think its all over - well it is now - The last Papal ram joins the rest of the charcoal at the foot of my walls.

As you can see acheived with three units of Desert Archers plus the arrows from the towers. The Mercenary Crossbow men obvously didn't contribute as they can't use fire arrows.
