Hi all. With the dwarf bolt thrower the stats say it has a defence of 8 so if I were attacked does that mean the men manning it have a defence of 8 or the bolt theower itself does, coz you'd only ever attack the men as they have a lower defence and the artillery won't work anyway without the men?? |

Why would you attack the bolt thrower directly if it has a higher defence as soon as the men manning it are killed then the bolt thrower is classed as useless and destroyed isn't it? |

You realise that the unit has just Defence 8, right? There is no separate profile for the crew in WotR. You attack the formation/company which has that profile. |

I was under the impression that anyone could man the siege machines, but have a -1 of some sort. This would have been under the Siege of Gondor rules though I think. So really, you would only attack it so it couldn't be re-manned - a small force might be coming to clear out your 2 units which were sent to tie it up but won their fights? you instant win combats against it? not many reasons its true, but might happen in the rare case. |

@Hodush, @Elf Lover, you are thinkng of catapults in SBG. This is about catapults in WOTR. Hashut is correct. The fortmation has one defnece value. 8 is the defence. |

Check the thread title guys - it says WotR  If the question IS referring to SBG, then the title is wrong, lol. |

There is a forum for all things WotR, and since there are fewer players (and therefore less traffic) than for SBG, anybody mind if I move these WotR threads to the WotR forum? |
