      I’m not going to drive a trebuchet to my kids’ school to pick them up.

        Obviously you are meant to place trebuchets along the route and be shot from one to the next. With exact timing you could even use another trebuchet to slow you down each time.

        Of course not, that would be silly. You can just launch your kid into the school with a trebuchet and avoid rush hour traffic!

      Wouldn’t the Abrams run out of fuel (not to mention ammo) before it could take out all those trebuchets?

        It could just run them over. Fuel probably depends on how far apart your place the trebuchets.

          If you’re close enough to drive through them, you might as well just swing by the camp of personnel operating them and supplying ammo.

        I think it would be most effective to drive over the trebuchets with the tank. Simply roll over a wheel or support, and the launcher will be misaligned and unable to fire. Tanks are mobile, and trebuchets are not.

          trebuchets are not

          We can modernize a little. Let’s slap an e-bike on it and get that thing moving!
