Quick Facts

Location:

Advanced Redoubt, FL

You are on an open slope called the glacis. As an attacker, you are exposed to cannon and musket fire from the main wall (scarp) as well as musket fire from the top of the outer wall (counterscarp). The solution is to dig a series of tenches to provide cover. The trenches must be big enough for cannon and infantry to advance.
