Castles in T2K

[Raellus]

I think that we may have discussed this before, and if I find this to be the case, I'll merge this thread. Until I get a chance to check, I wanted to post this article that I found today on my lunch break.

It's a shame to see such a historic architectural wonder treated so, but it makes sense that folks today would seek shelter behind the still formidable walls of extant medieval fortifications. There are a lot of such relics in Europe (Poland is practically lousy with them) and, as militaries run out of heavy weaponry, castle/fort walls would once again offer significant protection.

In my T2KU/Poland campaign, the Soviets placed an army HQ in Malbork castle.

I got to visit an Edwardian "Ring of Steel" castle in Wales, Blarney castle in Ireland, Edinburgh castle in Scotland, and Windsor in England this spring break, and plans are afoot to visit the Krakow and the Wawel castle complex next.
