->''"Tell two ballistae crews to fire three rounds every half hour, half-cocked rounds that will fall short. Have crews ready in the water to retrieve the shafts. Cover the rest of the ballistae with dead bodies. I want Urza to think he has destroyed most of our ballistae, and nearly disabled those that are left. I want him drawn downward. Once they are in range, fling the dead from the ballistae and fire all simultaneously. Aim for the flying machine's bomb bays."''
