Hey, what about Kenders? Throw a half dozen of 'em over to the enemies, they borrow all the weapons, make it easier for the flaming dwarves to come. Kinda like a first wave assault tactic. Oh, and what kind of catapult? I suggest using a three seater bow. Gives you plenty of torque for distance, smaller, easier to move, and just plain cool. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/338.gif Comes complete with capes and goggles for the vertically challenged ones (and minotaurs). http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif\

Hmmm…..I know that laugh (onthepequod thinks to himself). It can be none other that that devious diabolical Dwarf, Kors. What a dastardly downright devious deed that Dwarf pulled. But I can’t let Kors know I am thinking this. After all, Kors is the hero of Trademeet.

"Ha! Ha! Kors you’re quite the card. Come now, stop frustrating the process and join in. You’ll find it quite enjoyable once you be come immersed" (thinking to himself “….in alcohol that is, ignited, and then launched”).

Well I'm thinking we should be redesign out catapult to hurl greater loads, so more dwarves etc or a few minotaurs. By using a mix and match approach to our ammunition we could launch alternate waves for greater effect.

The way I propose to improve our catapult is to use an elephant or a mammoth, whichever is to hand as a counter balance. When the elephant jumps on one side of the cantilever, the otherside will be propelled upwards with far greater velocity. In order to avoid the elephant breaking the piece, I suggest we make it out of carbon fibre and titanium to give maximum strength at minimum weight (thus improving its mobility). Also I believe the cantilever should be teflon coated to minimise friction drag as the part moves through the air. Also I think we should add cupholders to the design as catapulting is thirsty work. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I think we've forgotten the importance of good headgear. I mean, we don't want our ammunition to fall head first and fall utterly unconscious so as to be completely ineffective.

To that end I suggest that we equip the ammo with helmets. Especially those fluffy ones (uh scratch that) those magnificent ones with wings on the sides of the head. The wings might actually improve flight stability.

If we use horned viking ones we don't need minotaurs!
