Very nice, I like this very much. Thanks for sharing. During the English Civil War, this type of fortification was called a sconce. A good example is the Queen's Sconce in Newark. What scale is this? |

Great AAR and fort – thanks for sharing! |

Eleve de Vauban, 15mm, I built specifically to suit the Tercio rules that we are using for this campaign's larger actions |

An excellent piece. I am very envious of your skills with both terrain and campaigns. Your TYW Imagine world is brilliant. |

Thanks everybody for the kind words Shagnasty, I'm simply a craftsman that apes the products of real soldiers, as far as the campaign goes that is mostly the result of being a frustrated writer. It is sort of like "reality wargaming" in that I set the scene but never know quite how the actors will carry the story forward. The players (who rarely play the same general game-to-game) are simply told what the general on the ground would know and we see where that takes us. I am in the role almost akin to a Dungeon-Master in D&D. I must admit that I rather enjoy being the only one with all the information |

Great model, Anton! Looks very good, realistic and likely for the late 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. I've seen earthworks like that depicted in old engravings and paintings. I believe several of these illustrations were associated with the 80 Years War. Eleve de Vauban, interesting that it is called a sconce. I looked it up, "Sconce – noun A small defensive earthwork or fort.
Cheers!
