Here is my entry to the Group Build.
My take on Fort Massachusetts in the Gulf of Mexico, nearly fitting the the regulations for HI.
I ve added 1 extra Heavy Pivot Gun and 4 Medium Barbettes to keep it within the fit of the fort as per Real photograph(provided)
As everyone has a Fort Sumter, I had to build my own Large American Fort for ACW.

Nearly finished. The fort is now done, just finishing off the guns and some troops to have "on parade". The flag is in place.

Very very nice, Miles. It's easy to forget quite how small it all is! Great job.

A mighty fort Miles.
I am happy to shell it with my union gunboats :) (or maybe avoid it for fear of being sunk)

 Well my Fort flies the flag of the Union, especially when I am in Command !
So please do your worst with your Confederate Gunboats ! Lol
But they can of be captured and controlled by the other side !
