line up about 6-7 foot men in front of the catapult.  Then about 8
archers behind the footmen, two catapults behind the archers, and 2
Knights along side the footmen.  Use the knights toi draw enemies
within firing range of the archers or the catapults.   
so
f = footmen
a = archers
c = catapults
k =knights
       C    C
A A A A A A A
 F F F F F F F
K                  K
