Hello all,

Recently I was asked to add Storm Poles to the Gun Bastions on one of my resin Star Forts.
I use hardwood (walnut)dowels as they are very strong compared to balsa or skewers and do not break easily!

Think it came out quite well myself…

I second historygamer.

Sharpened logs placed into the rammed earth walls, so that defenders could stretch blankets across them to make blanket forts outside when the fort was not under attack.

…….Or to disrupt enemy formations as they try to attack the defences :-/
