Siege warfare and Steppe Armies

[Alanus]

Hi, Semih

Thanks for posting all the great weapon illustrations on Facebook.

I have studied the Alans (and "Sarmatians"), also the Saka and Xiongnu, extensively; but I have found no references to siege warfare by them. I think perhaps the first steppe army to conduct sieges may have been Attila's, maybe at Orleans... which was defended by the Alans. You are certainly aware the Mongols used siege warfare. So, I can't help but hope other RAT members can give you some valuable input.
