Siege Rules

This was a project I set myself for 2025.  After playing the Pyrrhic campaign in 2024 (see posts under label "Pyrrhic Campaign") and also many DBA campaigns earlier this century the siege systems, often critical to the game, always seemed a bit simplistic, based on one or two die rolls.  After playing the boardgame Kingdom of Heaven I thought that it's siege mechanics could be easily adapted for Basic Impetus (or indeed many other rulesets I am sure).

The system worked well in the Kingdom of Heaven game and so I was sure it was sound.  I've run it through a number of recent Basic Impetus games with it as an adjunct, and it has provided varied and what I consider to be valid outcomes.  These games can be found in my recent posts that as also labelled "siege".
