Crossbows & Catapults is a game where you set up your castle and men then take turns shooting at them. The first version of the game came out in 1983. There were just two figures that look like two barbarian clans. Several companies including Tomy, Lakeside and Base Toys, put out versions of the game and expansion sets. The game was updated in 2007 by Moose Toys with new figures and is now called Battleground: Crossbows & Catapults. This time there are six figures and it is knights vs orcs. The original figures are around 35mm and the new figures are around 30mm. They don't work well with other toy soldiers unless you have some reason for smaller figures. There was a competing game called Weapons & Warriors put out by Pressman in the mid 1990s that used 25mm knights.

| I don't know for certain that the gold guy leads these orcs, it might be the other way around. |

| Neither side looks like the good guys. I like that. |
