(TFT) How would sieges work in TFT?

[Jim Zmrazek <jzmra@hotmail.com>]

So far, I've just played on small 18x18 hex arenas.  It allows for some
maneuverability, and you don't have to wait long to get into combat.  However,
I was thinking down the road of expanding the battlefield.  The first thing
that I thought of was the idea of a siege.  That way I could bring in
ballistas, catapults, and cannons that I couldn't really use otherwise.  The
only thing that bugs me is the lack of rules for sieges.

I saw a few things floating around in the archive, but I was wondering if
there were any definitive rules you'd say were the best.  I would imagine a
long stretch of land between the castle and war machines.  The catapults and
cannons would fire away, while the troops close in on the castle gates with
ladders and a ram.  Meanwhile fast cavalry sally forth from the castle to take
out the war machines, and archers rain down arrows and drop boiling oil onto
the attackers.  Sounds like a lot of fun to me!

Does the melee/wizards system work for sieges?  There would be a lot record
keeping, since there would be more figures to keep track of.  Is it even
plausible?
