Was there any advantage to having it lean like that?

Not this one, but newer forts were built with angled walls to help protect against canon balls and the like.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
