So I got both my 28mm Spanish Fort and Pirate sloop into the same game; the After Action Report is here link |

Loved the report, loved the sloop even better. Can't wait for mine to arrive. |

288 mm irate miniatures sound ominous! |

Sorry about the tile guys….I am a better modeler than typist……288mm figures would be cool but they would require a bigger table, and I certainly wouldn't want them to become Irate!!! |

I think you did a great job on the fort, but I have a couple questions. Where is the entrance and what does it look like? Years ago I saw a pirate fort in a hobby magazine (can't remember which one… it's been a couple decades) and entrance was done by the fort garrison throwing a rope ladder over the side. Is that the case here? |

A great big thanks to whoever it was that saved my title :) War in 15mm entry was gained via one of the gun embrasures, As far as I have been able to determine it is not known with certainty if it was a rope ladder or something more substantial. I am sure there was a gantry of some sort used to lift the cannon barrels up onto the platform but I don't know if it was temporary or left to move supplies. |

That looks like a beautiful representation of Ft. Matanzas near St. Augustine. The entrance would have been on the right wall embrasure. |

Pyrate Captain It is as near an exact model as I can make it, many rebuilds over the Fort's long lifetime have left a lot of questions as to the details but it is based on the best modern archaeology. 1/4 inch to the foot |
