Contents[hide] |
History
It was used by Lippstadt League forces as the headquarters of Marquis Littenheim and his fleet of 50,000 ships in the Imperial Civil War. After Littenheim's defeat at the Battle of Kyffhäuser, he & some of his forces retreated there. It was subsequently blockaded by High Admiral Kircheis. Littenheim's attack on his own supply fleet after the battle led to low morale which led to open shows of defiance. He was assassinated in an explosion by combusted Seffle particles which destroyed one quarter of the fortress and presented Kircheis with a strategic opportunity to invade.
Design
Garmisch Fortress was a collection of 5 spheres in a row of 3 and a row of 2, with cylindrical connections linking each sphere to adjacent spheres. There was no indication of a main gun on the same scale as the Vulture's Claw and the Thor Hammer of the Geiersburg and Iserlohn fortresses respectively. The main fortress command centre was in one of the spheres in the row of 2. The command centre's internal layout was very similar to that of Iserlohn Fortress. (LOGH: 'Courage and Loyalty')
