Did you have a supply train with men standing by to feed you new ammo as you needed it? And did you have your catapulta mounted on a cart, with associated storage of extra bolts?

And, how much safety did you incorporate into your experiment? Meaning, did you keep safety of operation paramount, as you should, and would a Roman crew in battle be as safety concious as you were? And did you have to factor in the machine's safety, and not have specialists standing by to repair damage to the machine if it occured from pushing it to the max?

I would think that you have to push you and your crew beyond what we would consider safe operations to really find out how you a machine would be weilded in combat. We had a philosophy in the army that you train under as realisitc conditions as possible, and we always had at least a few deaths and some bad injuries each time we had a large field exercise. I got a bit mangled more than once, but we had great docs. Tragic always to loose guys in training, but the price willing to be paid to be as well trained as possible. In this hobby, no one goes that far.

Cool though that you did try to see what your crew could do, and instructive.
