Nicosia ** sorry for the empty post

what's the deal with triangular earthworks on what I assume are pre gunpowder fortifications?

It creates overlapping fields of fire, preventing dead-zones where assaulting infantry could hide.

im glad you posted this.

when I was on vacation last year in Antwerp I visited the famous Cafe Kulminator. The guy who owns/runs the place showed me this map they have on their wall. it's an old map of antwerp. the red point is where the bar would be located.

blue: huh, I gotta climb this wall
red: pew pew pew

ah makes sense, thanks

looks close to the St. Elisabeth hospital if you ask me. I have never been to the cafe before, thanks

In case of Greifswald, the earthworks are clearly a later addition

Here's a map from the same series.
