Review: Very cool building gift - Giving this a 5 star rating when 4.5 stars is probably more accurate but my almost 13 year old son had an absolute blast building these and they work really well! The instructions aren’t as clear as they could be and he had to dismantle and rebuild at least one because of a finicky lever (again, instructions) but overall we are impressed by the quality and durability. Definitely recommend!
Review: Fun & Engaging - Got this for my 7 year old niece. Enjoyed assembling it with her and instructions are presented well enough that a 7 year old can follow them. I highly recommend this kit for anyone wanting to get a young one to put forth some effort.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the parts shared or can you have all 3 built at same time?**
A: The Battalion includes 3 complete kits for building a ballista, bombard and catapult with no sharing of parts. For further details contact us as help@natgeotoys.com

**Q: Do you need glue?**
A: Wood glue is not required, but can be used if desired.  Keep in mind if using glue some pieces need to move freely, therefore must not be glued.

**Q: Does the battalion kit (with all 3) come with 3 separate instruction booklets so I can split it up for party favors?**
A: Our order did not come with separate instructions. As well the instructions were not clear and vague. Lacking in actual instructions and the pictures were not clear or in color. That normally would not matter but some of the parts were so small and looked so much alike that we had a hard time determining what part went where. To be honest I thought this was a great idea. However, it took so long to assemble and did not perform when done that it was a let down. I will not get this again even as a party favor.

**Q: Are the rubber bands latex? If so, what size are the bands?**
A: Yes, these are a latex band.  They are approximately 1 1/2"  or 3.81 centimeters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very cool building gift

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catapult is awesome
*by T***S on December 30, 2024*

The Catapult works amazing and is fun to launch. The Ballista was a good idea but the launcher bar broke while putting it together. Bombard (cannon) works very similar to the catapult. Catapult projectiles are pretty small so be sure to keep away from smaller children. Depending on age of child, adult definitely needs to help with the build
