Description
A movable construction, typically a heavy
timber frame, with green hides protecting the wood. It has a peaked to shed
missiles and liquids. It is used to provide cover for attackers operating
against a wall. Width is 3.6m, height 3.6m, length 6m.
The gallery can move at 5 meters
per turn when propelled by 20 or more men. For every four men
fewer, the rate is reduced by one meter per turn.
Damage:
Damage depends upon the type of fixture fitted, the number of men
operating it, and the surface being attacked. Four men
operating a ram against a wooden structure will cause cause one
minor hit on an Impossible: Strength test (average their strengths).
The task becomes one level easier for each additional four men up to
a maximum of Easy with 20 men. Four minor hits equal one major
hit.
The task becomes one level more
difficult against stone structures, unless the ram is fitted with a
spike or pick.
One attempt to damage a structure
is allowed per turn.
