Break the Siege

Make Your Own Catapults

Bringing engineering, physics, and history together in one extraordinary series, Rob Ives instructs audiences in the transformation of a variety of common household items into medieval trebuchets used to destroy castles, deadly Roman onagers, and more, in Break the Siege: Make Your Own Catapults, one of four TableTop Wars books available now. Grapes, marshmallows, and imaginations will soar as John Paul de Quay’s depictions assist in the step-by-step construction of some of history’s most innovative designs.
