It's about arms, though not ancient ones. Where can I find this medieval supergun? Is Boxted Hall a place in Great Britain or what? Google only led me to some wedding resort but I didn't feel like contacting them on whether they have some ugly supergun standing in their lover's park! LOL
Boxted Hall Cannon (p. 340, fig. 120): the bore diameter must be more than 50 cm which places the gun among the largest extant:

Gracias, Duncan. Just sent the lovers' resort an inquiry about a super gun on their perimeter. Hopefully, they won't see any ambiguity in my request! *lol*
Going by the engraving, the bore may be easily a feet wide. Large, but not nearly as large as my favourite medieval wall breaker:

Here in the States the ultimate cavalry march is "Gerryowen," the 7th Cavalry march and Custer's favorite. By the way, isn't "cavalry march" an oxymoron? Horses can't march in step.

Can't see the link, but if they are what I think they are, I have seen them too
A breed of horses, who were saved from the mess halls of the German Army in 1945 but either the 101st or the 82nd Airborn,
or the 10th Mountain division.....but any way, they do march in step, leap high enough to clear a formation of men(from stand still)
etc? Cant recall the correct name though. :roll:
