Castle review thread.

Could probably attack that with some cheap, bomb-armed drones and get a few kills. They're already using drones in the Syrian conflict I hear, so maybe that's the new insurgents weapon of choice... for a time anyway. I'm guessing that's something being studied, atm.

I think castles represent neo Nazi values. I look forward to the day when England is progressive enough to finally realize it's the current year and these structures do not represent our society and our heritage.

Why would you think that, when castles pre-date the nation state?

The Welsh people deserve to have these symbols of their oppression torn down. Get the MHF ladies on the horn. We've got work to do.

Thing is most of them are still in use. That use being separating hard cash from foreign tourists with little history of their own.
Stonehenge can only take so many visitors per day so they are still vital to the economy.
Modern statues of violent rebels from history we can afford to lose, starting with that traitor Wallace or Owen Glyndŵr.....

Money from cultural appropriation. Might as well be from the slave market.

Castle near where I lived in Bavaria,



Used to have pictures. Lemme see if I can find them.

Castle in my village, Burg Dagestein.

Krak de Chevaliers.

A true badass castle that has seen combat even today. There's something to it when old castles see combat centuries after they were built.


Airstrike on the Crusader Castle.


Looks like an ATGM (without the missile) in position against the Crusader Fort that was held by Syrian rebels few years ago.


Chapel of the castle:


And the chapel after Syrian rebels held the castle:

That's pretty dramatic

I bet those Nord castles were built with the spoils of raiding the rest of Europe. They're coming down. We won't tolerate monuments to intolerance.

That's a nice one, when was that built ? Looks 17th or 18th century but I don't really know the Danish style. Not been to Denmark since I was about ten years old.
