23. The Union soldiers fashioned wooden mortars from tree trunks banded by iron in order to lob 6 and 12 pound shells at the Confederates. [I'll also accept "mortars fashioned of staves with iron hoops shrunken over them" (tho I don't believe it), as I have seen at least one other source on mortars at Vicksburg fashioned from iron banded wooden staves]

Let me remind players to recheck your answers against the questions before you post (or at least after, as Rad must have done), especially in the case of questions which require more than one answer.


We have a 3 way tie for 2nd place for game 48, (partly because a player did not recheck his answers?), but because, according to my rules, no player who has already won a prize is eligible for another prize until all active players have got a prize, Week 6 will (in lieu of another tie) decide the prize winner for Game 48.

Please try to recruit more players (see my note at the end of the Week 6 question posting) especially before we start Game 49. Also, you may have noticed that I have used a question submitted by ewc in weeks 4, 5, and 6. I hope all players will submit at least one possible question per game so as to have questions coming from severals different points of interest.

Was blockaderunner interdicted?


Here are the scores at the end of Game #48 - Week 4:

FIRST DIVISION

Susan Sweet - 24

Salads - 18 (spell checker for sarladaise - maybe we can all have new player nicknames!)
ewc - 15

SECOND DIVISION

Texaswildcat - 19
Sockknitter - 19
Hoosier - 17

The prize for Game 48 is still up for grabs with at least 5 players in good position to take it.
