And very much appreciated. Playtesting is good!

You're using RQ, aren't you? What is it about left legs? We used to hit them a lot, too. People started buying armour for just the left leg. In fact that *was* a common place to get hit in the RW when using sword&shield, but the RQ rules shouldn't reflect it if you go by the numbers.

Good point! Orlanthi don't have much experience of sieges, they'll be interested in reports of any they can find.
Let me check Wyrms Footprints for 1613 events -
Page 90, Sartarites besiege Jonstown, and Wilmskirk. They take Wilmskirk
with aid from inside.
Pahe 91, Sartarites besiege Aldarchur (very badly)
page 92, Swenstown and Jonstown both get besieged by the Lunars (so the
Sartarites must have taken Jonstown?), but only for a few days, then the
treaty gets signed.
Not much useful experience there!

So in the movements described above, you only had 150 troops left in the city?

Gorp? That's a good idea!
I wonder if the Lunar camp has a gorp-production facility? Nasty job of the week - gorp-bottling. Protective clothing will be provided :)

RQ. What's the equivalent HQ gorp-defence, anyone?

Good move! Again, how do we translate this into HQ?
