You've got artillery.

Greetings from the bottom of the world readers.

For those that are unaware I run a pre-gunpowder research group here in New Zealand. Very shortly an exhibition of my initial (three years worth) research will be opening. Being a poor student I survive entirely on the good will of sponsors and to date of eight large machines I have four that are sponsored by bloggers, in particular mil-blogger.

My two large trebuchets, Katie and Sir Isaac, are now the Battery of Argghh! See them in action here. Being sponsored by US artillery. Vespasian, one of only five lithobolos' in the world today, is sponsored by Canadian cavalry, while Chucky, my small onager goes to the New Zealand infantry. Are we seeing a theme?

Well anyway I chatted to Theo about it and we were going to put up bleg post in an effort to get other arms to take a shot at sponsoring a machine of their own. Then I thought, well hell, the liberals are already looking at me sideways but its guys like us that have already ponyed up for the machines, so what the hell. The machine pictured in the article, Marius will now be going into the exhibition with a credit of being sponsored by the readers of the Last of the Few, because I’m the magister tormentorum and I can do whatever I bloody like. Besides Theo has already made a donation to the cause.

So there you go, you have your own dedicated machine and your contributing to the education/corruption of minors. If you feel moved to throw some sheckles in the tip jar a donation can be made via paypal to my email address 22adartillery@gmail.com

Co-incidentally the exhibition opens August 8th which is my regiments Corps Day. Expect pictures. Name that battle and win ten points of your very own (Not open to denizens of Argghhh)
