[COR - FB] Fortifications at Neustadt

[LM71Blackbird]

While waiting for the HMS Queen to be repaired in Stormhaven following a storm, Major Brickford received new orders from Colonel Allcock. He was to proceed to the Carnite settlement of Neustadt in order to make contact with the authorities there regarding the upcoming campaign against the Lotii

Once arriving and landing with his aide along with a few regulars, he inquired about where to find the governor. The guards in the port suggested checking out the gun emplacements not far from the harbour.

Governor Eugen von Kraft was doing an inspection of a newly constructed section of palisade built to repel any Lotii invaders. Major Brickford walked up, greeted the Governor and handed him the sealed documents from Colonel Allcock detailing the current situation in the New Haven Sea and Corrington's and Oleon's offer of a joint military campaign in the region.

After skimming through the letter, he suggested that the Major and himself sit down to discuss the situation further.

Excellent looking build! Wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that wall!

A fine palisade. I really like your cannons and the contrast with the undergrowth on the base. What are the chains meant to represent?

Nice palisade and a fun group of Carnite soldiers! Hope they are inclined to work alongside us!

[CapOnBOBS]

The slope up to the palisade came out really nice. The build has a ton of depth for the size. Well done.

Nice work! As others have mentioned, that is a very impressive palisade and nice collection of Carnites. Hopefully they will keep those pesky Lotii out!

[Spud The Viking]

Lovely build, and a great display of soldiers!

[Captain Dee]

I love that palisade and that's a good design for their soldiers. The cannons are also neat.

The palisades with the additional wooden stakes and trip chains are impressive.

Great build, beautiful figs (Carno und Corrington).

Thank you! The chains are basically just some stuff to trip up any invading army.

Thanks! I hope so too, the Carnite soldiers are a nice change from the typical redcoat

Thank you! I've been wanting to try my hand at some more brick built cannons instead of the stock LEGO ones.

An interesting look at the Carnite lines and great addition of an NPC scene to the narrative. Like the others have said, the brick-built cannons look great and palisade look plenty vicious enough to deter invaders for some time.

Very nice fortifications (and cannons)!!!
