"Aztec barricades@ Tenochtitlan" Topic

What were they made of? Anyone have any ideas on how to make some in 15mm?

Thanks!

I have no idea, but I imagine it was anything they had lying around. I'm not sure the Aztecs had barricade technology and it was a cat and mouse game between Cortes and the Aztecs. Anything serious might have tipped Cortes off to the danger.

I think thay were made of the city rubble. Mortar and reeds from houses, stones from temples, some could have been made from rocks taken from the roads, some others would have been made of reed baskets filled with mud. So I guess any kind of rubble barricades painted with more or less white would work.(white because must buildings, public and private, were covered with white stucco)

I think Mex and Nycjadie has it, they collapsed buildings nto the streets, built false wals to block off areas and lifted bridges. Very much a cat and mouse seige

If Stephen Spielberg had anything to do with it, there would be a piano.
