Re: Fortified camps and ditches.

I think the authors point is that there were so many defensive dykes and ditches that armies made us of these to meet enemy armies. Plus some were built for battles or to interfere with the movement of enemy armies.

Re: Peter Pig Carolingians

These are cool. I was unaware of these. The javalin skirmishers would make great slavs.

Re: Fortified camps and ditches.

Hey Rod, the ones mentioned by Storr are definitely post roman pre Alfred. The are in addition to pre Roman fortifications. Many such fortifications were reused in later generations.

Fortified camps and ditches.

Jim Storr in 'King Arthur's wars' discusses the hundreds of fortified dykes/ditches in Britian during the time period some of which were built by the Saxons. Would this justify an addition to the army lists of fortified camps and ditches for the early Saxons in England and the sub Roman British? Gra...

My current go to is to cut the neck off of a 15mm goose and leaving a little neck stub to fashion into a crop head w...
