Same here. We figured it out with all the wasted cost and time of a full tower in 2013 when a lumber-supported quarter would have done us as well - and been possible to take to demos. In 2016, we decided early a few things not to do, so we did not build a rung, drawbridge, or sally port. Our rock wall was much simpler than the team version, and a better simulation of the steel one -- three 2"x6" boards stacked and screwed together atop the outer works base.
