I can't really give a good reason for thinking this, except for my own opinion, but would it have been sensible for them to carry the metal parts--the "washers", rope skeins, trigger mechanism, metal frame, etc.--and then use trees at the site for rebuilding the larger machines?
Using green wood has its problems, but warping and shrinkage don't express themselves for a while. Sieges of cities usually didn't last long enough for the wood to begin to degrade. That would lead to a long bunny trail, though.
Early on, when the 9th HSPA took such a hit from Boudicca, the 2nd AVG didn't seem to be "working together" all that well. Had they been where they were ordered, that revolt might have been quelled much sooner.
