Description When the French did attack Fort Necessity it consisted of:

one small cabin roughly a dozen feet across; a 6-8ft tall wooden palisade in a circle 50 feet across surrounded the cabin. This palisade was at the northern edge of a series of low earthen walls which formed a lozenge shaped encampment that Washington optimistically dubbed a 'fort'.

Pictured here is my fictional unit- to the best of my knowledge redcoats with Royal blue facings on coat and cuffs were not at that battle.

Yeah I think it would be from the sounds of it I wish I could see it- all of my pics and the scale model I made of it were based on the written accounts :\

It's only a little bigger than say a normal bedroom. Not that big. And I only got to see it during a summer in Pittsburgh. For Ligonier is much more fun.
