Default Re: What games are you waiting for in 2006?

They were also quite useful in castle seiges. Some historians conjecture that it might be where the thing about catching a greased pig comes from. A live greased pig, set on fire and catapulted into the castle, caused alot of damage. It ran around trying to hide in tight places and setting fire to everything. It was almost impossible to catch. Highly effective.
