My team does the same thing. We also say "French Quarter." We call the porticullsi the guillotine and the cheval the shovel.

Re: Periodic Table of the Defenses
 
the way i remember the defenses:
Port (portcullis)
Sally (sally's port)
Seesaw (Cheval de frias [i know i demolished the name])
Rock (rock wall)
Moat (you'll have no idea what this one is)
Drawbrige
Rough (rough terrain)
and Ramp (ramparts)
I hope this helps and you have a safe and amazing build season!!

I think this is hurting more than helping because they the students should put some effort to know the name of the defenses but this is just me

The castors were also mentioned in the FIRST blog last week.

In this case Frise is the name of a european region witch probably invented that thing :yikes:

source: first language is French
French: Cheval de frise literally means "Frisian horse" The Frisians, having few cavalry, relied heavily on such anti-cavalry obstacles in warfare. (wikipedia)

Back when I did Revolutionary War re-enacting we saw these on battlefields.
If you ever go to Yorktown you will see reproductions of them Quite effective and until barbed wire came along they were used to repel cavalry. Of course the originals did not rotate like these. They were rigid and came to points. Below is a picture from the actual Petersburg battlefield (Civil War) (courtesy wikipedia)


my first language is
German my family came from Alsace-Lorraine... annexed by French after WWI.....

There is an excellent view of the casters in this video about field reset.

Heh, I remember seeing these in photos/movies from D-Day. I think they're still in use today as part of anti-ship countermeasures near shore lines.

I think you're thinking of Czech Hedgehogs.

Hello!

Is it okay if I use the Periodic Table of the Defenses on my team's website? I will give full credit to ajsmith.
