These rules should probably be separated out into their components.

  1. Siege engines can pose many risks to attacking fighters, exercise great caution when approaching them
    1. Stay clear of moving parts
    2. Approach them from the side.
  2. Engines or structure are destroyed by laying your weapon on it, and declaring "this weapon is destroyed" (as with a declared kill from behind). This shall be done in a safe and deliberate manner, not in a rush while engaged with another opponent.
  3. Do not strike engines or structures with a handheld weapon. While these items should be constructed to withstand blows, it is dangerous to do so, as an accidental discharge of the weapon may result. Anyone found intentionally striking a siege engine or structure should be removed from the field and possibly face further action, such as a marshal's court.
  4. Siege engines and structures may also be destroyed by siege class ammunition fired from a siege engine.
  5. Siege engine crews should be treated as any other fighter on the field. If they are authorized for armored combat and have a secondary weapon, they may use it. If not, they may be killed as an unarmed or helpless opponent; if they yield, do not strike them.
  6. Active combat should not take place within 5 feet (1.52 meters) of an active siege engine. If this situation arises, a hold should be called and the engine declared destroyed.
