    A star fort overlooked by higher ground is reminiscent of Fort Beausejour. Located to guard the isthmus between Acadia (New Brunswick) and Nova Scotia, in the Seven Year's War it was successfully besieged by the British who deployed a battery on the hill overlooking the fort.

    Nice - I do love a “coup de main”. Usually very difficult to achieve in a wargame. Masterly done. This is an excellent campaign. Again the Jacobite artillery have prove their worth! Wondering about the political background whilst these military actions take place? And all will come to nought unless the Hanoverians are defeated,there is a general Stuart Rising and the capital (London) taken.

    why does the garrison not leave the gate open while the cannons are firing and close them as the infantry attacks ?
    is it because the gates are too heavy to close quickly ? I should mention another fun and intriguing campaign....cheers to you all.

      @stephenpodeschi6052 a successful order roll on the tabletop could allow a unit to cover the ground in a single turn, so it would be too much of a risk in a turn-based game. The attackers had petards to try blowing the gate by hand if needed

    Brilliant, but who in there right mind would build a fort below a hill 🤔 😮

      @smakybumm1914 yes the original barracks was better sited in that sense, but was harder to resupply from the loch. All three Great Glen forts had positioning faults

    A bold move by the Jacobites to clear the North of those forts, perhaps it could lead to more Scots rallying to the cause? If Scotland was free of British troops, would it make a significant difference politically? Could the French land in support in Scotland in preparation for a push south?
