Pwrwagon

It's a ram!

At least it's not a hydraulic ram! --William Ansley (talk) 22:30, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well that was unexpected, and really cool, now they only have to shoot the guy on its back. Agathahetrodyne (talk) 22:42, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well, it ain't exactly my grandaddy's powerwagon! It looks like Baron Wulfenbach is using one of his giant constructs against one of his Dropwall engines. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 06:06, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
nope. as we can see on the previous page, he is using it against (one of) mechanicsburg's gate(s). Finn MacCool (talk) 10:23, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Mighty tough ram, there. Yup. Ram tough. I wonder (subtle joke incoming) if it is (subtle joke immanent) good at crossing rivers with no bridge or boats (subtle joke completed, the intelliensia may now laugh, but please do not mock the peasantry that did not get it--their feelings are easily hurt).--Bosda Di'Chi (talk) 13:11, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

First an "Occam's Razor" that is actually a literal razor; now a "battering ram" that is actually a literal ram. I'm expecting General Zog to introduce one more unexpectedly literal thing in the near future to complete the pattern. What will it be? Mskala (talk) 17:48, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

The mind reels. (Well, it used to reel; nowadays it's more casettes (thank you, SR) or CDs.) Friendly fire (think the animated bullets from Who Framed Roger Rabbit)? A flanking maneuver (throwing beefsteaks at the enemy)? Committing the reserve forces (to an asylum)? Military jargon is rife with opportunity. NathanTheRammer (talk) 18:36, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

i bet the gate also has a murder-hole.^^ Finn MacCool (talk) 21:37, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
Also known as machicolations, in military jargon. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 01:25, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
