Reduction
This refers to any attempt to destroy a castle’s walls. Use the table to
resolve the attempt.
Attacker: The type of engine attacking the wall. This assumes one engine attacking each
30' section of wall.
Defending Wall Type: This refers to the wall types described in the Escalades section. Curtain walls are treated as hard or soft stone, depending on the materials
used to construct them. Ramparts are treated as earth. Palisades are treated as
thick wood. Normal buildings, mantles, and abatises are treated as thin wood.
Note that ramparts are difficult to batter down but fairly easy to climb.
