Hello everyone,
These can be used as stand alone linear defensive features or my resin Star Fort can be expanded in size by replacing the standard 3" sections with 6" sections.

I think he meant curtain, as in a curtain wall link

Yes Major B – I believe Courtine is the original term.

Great looking scenery there!

Yes Major B – I believe Courtine is the original term.

Aha! I see now that "courtine" is the French word for curtain! In the sense that other features of Vauban-esque fortifications are given French names then I suppose this is the more correct term.

Thank you, I didn't know that before. You learn something new every day…

Thanks GamesPoet.

Sorry Major B that's what I sort of meant.
As in; Bastion, Lunette, Ravelin etc

Not a problem, sir, you have taught me something for which I'm grateful. And your model fort pieces are really nice!
