Hail Caesar: Onager with Hellenistic crew

Under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, siege trains began to feature more prominently in Hellenistic warfare. This trend continued among Alexander's successors, with their most famous proponent being Demetrius the Besieger and his famed, though unsuccessful Siege of Rhodes in 305-304 BC. Able to fling a missile great distance, the Onager was used for besieging forts or settlements. Onager would often be loaded with large stones or rocks that could be covered with a flammable substance and set alight. Now featuring Hellenistic crew, Macedonian and Hellenistic Greek armies can add these engines of war to the tabletop and rain down destruction on their foes!
