Do you mean if you are defending a city/caslte and the enemy are using ladders how to knock them down?

This cannot be done with actions , but there have been a thew bugs where the ladders have fallen or been moved away (by the AI i think)

So i guess what happened in your screenshot cannot be recreated by yourself only the bug that happens.

Btw, you can convert .tga's into jpeg with Photoshop or similar programe

Just in case he's asking what I think he's asking, I too would like to know how you can get your units to drop siege equipment. Is there a hotkey for 'drop'?

I think it's the F key.

Or you can click the drop siege equipment button

Nah, I prefer hotkeys - I play with minial UI (so I didn't even know there was a button!

)

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the other day I was Venice, defending Athens against ERE, and I ordered my Venetian Heavy Infantry to attack the enemy ladder. They lined up and started hitting the area of ground right in front of 2 of the 4 ladders. They looked like they were nailing railroad nails into the, err, air. Then like 5 of the VHI died (from falling?) and 2 of the 4 ladders in that set disappeared.
