Does anyone wonder, when Minas Tirith is chucking absolutely MASSIVE boulders aganst the enemy, how did they get them onto the catapult in the first place? *EDIT--Tone down the caps and question marks a bit. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) And it wasn't the battle of the Pelennor fields, it was the Siege of Gondor.

^ Yeah, I had to edit that a bit. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I think they had the rocks there already, in case of war.

haha maybe they had the stones there before the battle. but how dit they get them on to the catapults? ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) they dont have cave trolls or other large creatures to lift them.

I always wondered that too... I surpose that they got so desperate that the broke parts of the buildings off. But how would they get those huge rocks to the launcher thingies... ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Exactely, but I thought that the catapults were cool. I love the way the rock is just flicked of the material ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I think they were bits of the city that had been broken off by the enemy's catapults.

Well, people have been using big stones on catapults for quite a while, so there must be some way of doing it...

Maybe thay can somehow get the sling under it without moving the boulder and letting the sling go from there.

^Thats an idea! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Maybe they just rolled the stone onto the sling- that wouldnt be as hard as lifting it.
