: whole JFL way of drawing in perspective.

The perspective is right...but theyre in the wrong place... The point of them
is to provide cover for archers inside, so they need to be along the walls
of the turrets, (A) or along a little wall on the walkway along the top of the
wall (where you've done _|"|_|"|_ along the walkway - so it would be 
interesting trying to walk along it :). So basically they need
to be a lot smaller - which is why theyre nigh on impossible I think.

Well - it might be possible to get them with maybe two _|"|_ along the turret,
but that wouldnt look right I think. 

: Maybe someone else can do a better job though?
: I think it would look better with 'em.
