One down ten thousand four hundred and ninty nine to go

Yay sold one so far. This is hot off the press from 22AD Workshops (which is code for it hasn't been spell checked yet).

I was suffering from insomnia the other other night and I mentally designed a simple to assemble and take apart desk top onager. the result was so damn good I drew it up and added instructions, an experiment and some other information that was ratttling about in my head doing nothing.


















As you can see there's quite a bit in it, eight sheets and the cover in fact. Back in the old days I was sufieniently optimistic to think enough people would make a donation to actually cover some costs but at present my trebuchet plan has been down loaded over 3,600 times with not one donation.

So new system, you can have this fun little onager plan which is good for a day indoors with the kids making up for their lack of learning at school or taking to office to bug people for the bargin basement cost of a compelled $1 donation. Trust me its cheap and it comes with aftersales service in that you can email me with your question whic will be ignored int eh order they arrive in.

The proceeds from this little enterprise will eb going towards the construction of the new 4 mina ballista. First person to tell me how much 4 mina is get s a free copy.

Vist my site to get your copy today! Because this post will be dropping off the page in about three hours. By the way there's no reason you can't donate more if you choose and feel free to pay the paypal fee too or what i get is 66 cents and uberballistae are not cheap.

A mina was equal to 100 drachmas, or 1/60 of a talent.

Rev Paul is technically correct but I'm going to need a modern number for the prize. Tell me what a talen is in kgs for a plan. (Yes I do know this myself, I desgin them to historical specs remeber.)

Minicapt is also correct but has already paid for one and came second anyway.
