Not yet released - expected in mid-October.
This latest ‘Siege Machine’ features a large 6-wheel machine with a detachable wooden roof from which is suspended (from chains) a heavy wooden ram with a strong, sturdy, steel head.
Propelling this particular ‘siege machine’ is a team of 5 x Medieval Men-at-Arms. This entire set comes in its own full-colour presentation box.
In its simplest form, a ‘battering ram’ is just a large, heavy log carried or pushed by a number of men and propelled with great force against a fixed obstacle such as a wall or a gate strong enough to damage or even break through that obstacle or obstruction. First developed by the legions of Ancient Rome it really came into its own during the medieval period.
