Types of defence

[King Edward]

In both modern and 14th century warfare there were a number of ways of defending a country. The first of these involves a system of forts (or in modern terms gun implacements)and to take over an area the enemy would have to siege and capture each of the Forts in turn. Forts are however vunderable to artillery and air attack.

Alternatively the army sets up camps where they are, and when the enemy come they quickly pack up and go to the area they are required in. Obviously if the enemy break through the army then its hard to stop them again.

So do people think the first, the second, or a mix?

[Craitman]

i think a mix...
it keeps our olde culture, but makes us able to compete with everyone else at the same time

[King Edward]

I agree, the fortresss can be made to look traditional to attrack tourists but also play a defencive role in part with the help of mobile troops.
