This is a unit that could be used, in my opinion, as a flavor unit for the longbowman. The weapon is basically a sort of "manual trebuchet," as far as I can tell. I don't actually know anything about them; I just saw a picute at the DBA on-line site and thought it would make a cool unit. Anyway, enjoy. I haven't played with the unit in-game yet, but hopefully it will work out okay.
No, he doesn't really reload the weapon, but who cares?
