Hullo everybody! Yesterday I was playing a nice game of WOTR and we were discussing if a artillery piece(either catapult or siege bow) can rotate? Example: A siegebow is not allowed to move once being deployed.. But can it still rotate on it's position so it can aim at a certain direction before shooting??????? If not it would seem that artillery has a huge disadvantage and the enemy could easily evade your line of fire if the field is big enough. |

Unfortunately artillery cannot rotate. That's why you have to be canny when you place them, not only to ensure they get a good line of sight but that they also aren't likely to be flanked. If you can get them on a hill in a corner that's usually the best place for them, either that or inside defensible terrain (which will then give you 360 degrees line of sight AND a few extra defensive points)- however you can't guarantee either of these. With defence of 8 they can pretty much take care of themselves though. |

Failing that, you could put 2 side by side so you have a larger coverage of possible advancement angles. |
