Shooting the dead is a waste of resources.
Even if they're filthy commies.

Rearding the Medics not unsheathing their blades for anything other than self defense, is that literal? Having a blade in a sheath for a long time without cleaning it can be very bad, and would mean the death of the blade if moisture gets in without you knowing.

Uh... It's a parade tradition. They take them out and maintain them when in barracks etc., but a) Officers don't take swords on campaign and b) on operations, they use bayonets just like any other soldier.
It's a purely ceremonial thing on parade, and on the battlefield a rather liberal definition of self-defence is used.

Okay, a) I meant on the battlefield, as we've brought a number of parade uniforms etc. for senior officers, and b) I actually lied - I've RP'd a Kouralian special forces officer stabbing a communist terrorist to death with a sword.

The cranequin might offer an advantage with the smaller pieces (draw weighs <1000lbs), but the larger pieces, like the first one I posted, already use something similar to a windlass. Most of the time comes from unwinding the windlass, placing the bolt and attaching the pull cord to the trigger mechanism.
How simple was the mechanism for the ballista though? Something tells me they didn't really know about torque and using different sized gears to make drawing them much easier. I suspect that most of them maybe up until the latest years of the Roman Empire just had to be drawn using one gear.
