Post by: paintingdeamon on 20 March 2011, 01:16:21 PM

Hey everyone,

I need some help from the historians in here :-B .
During the AWI period what kind of fortifications where used?
I wana know what kind of forts, did they use gabions? And all of that stuff.

I tried some internet research but came out very confused :o :-\ (this seem to happen a lot with me :P )
So any info would be helpful.

thanx,

Harold
