The labyrinth of tunnels known as The Great Siege Tunnels are perhaps the most impressive defence system devised by man.

Deuteronomy 28:52 “They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the LORD your God is giving you.”

Nahum 3:14 “Draw water, because a siege is coming! Strengthen your fortresses! Make the clay good and strong! Mix the mortar! Go get your brick molds!”
The siege of Vicksburg (May 18 – July 4, 1863) was the final major military action in the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. In a series of maneuvers, Union Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed the Mississippi River and drove the Confederate Army of Mississippi, led by Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton, into the defensive lines surrounding the fortress city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, leading to the successful siege and the Confederate surrender.
Vicksburg was the last major Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River; therefore, capturing it completed the second part of the Northern strategy, the Anaconda Plan. When two major assaults against the Confederate fortifications, on May 19 and 22, were repulsed with heavy casualties, Grant decided to besiege the city beginning on May 25. After holding out for more than forty days, with their supplies nearly gone, the garrison surrendered on the Fourth of July. The successful ending of the Vicksburg campaign significantly degraded the ability of the Confederacy to maintain its war effort. This action, combined with the surrender of the down-river Port Hudson to Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks on July 9, yielded command of the Mississippi River to the Union forces, who would hold it for the rest of the conflict.
The Confederate surrender on July 4, 1863, is sometimes considered, when combined with Gen. Robert E. Lee's defeat at Gettysburg by Maj. Gen. George Meade the previous day, the turning point of the war. It cut off the Trans-Mississippi Department (containing the states of Arkansas, Texas and part of Louisiana) from the rest of the Confederate States, effectively splitting the Confederacy in two for the rest of the war. Lincoln called Vicksburg "the key to the war."

Indianapolis: A City under Siege
A Short Series
I am going to share a short series of photographs I made not too long ago. All of them are very near the downtown location of the most recent mass shooting.
Kids as young as 13 years old are carrying assault rifles and 9mm Glock's stuffed in the legs of their pants and in oversized backpacks. Gun battles using these military-style weapons by children from ages 13-18 years old have the city under siege.
After each shooting, law enforcement officers describe how the rampant access to guns by children is something they cannot stop nor defend the general public against. Elected officials wring their hands and start promising new laws that won't have any more impact than the current laws. Those laws are typically curfews or trying to go after the parents of the kids committing the crimes. The problem with guns isn't something you'll hear politicians say much about.
It's not rocket science folks. All the baloney about how guns are never part of the problem, that it's 100% the people with the gun that is the problem, is nothing more than a pathetic excuse by lawmakers who have done all they can to make guns easily accessible by anyone and everyone, including children.
The number one killer of children in America today is a gun. Not cancer, not diabetes, not drowning, not drugs. Guns. Welcome to the cesspool of death and destruction our elected officials have created. And remember: the solution is to put more guns on the street.

Harrenhal is a castle in the Riverlands, the largest in all Seven Kingdoms. It is located near the lake of God's Eye, South of the Trident, East of Riverrun. This castle was built by the king of the Iron Islands Harren Black in the days when the islanders ruled the River lands. Aegon I Targaryen with dragon Balerion burned Harren king in his castle. Since then, the ruined Harrenhal is considered to be cursed. He many times changed owners, trying to restore and rebuild the colossal ruins, but none of them Harrenhal did not bring happiness.
The elves and their allies begin their assault to take back their city and their homeland.
This is my entry to the CCCXIII. Take a look at the album to see the extra shots.
August 2nd, 1675

The Siege of Brookfield was a major engagement during King Philip's War in the mid 17th century. The war itself was fought between Metacomet of the Pokanoket (known as King Philip) and Plymouth colonists over settlement disagreements, killings of Native Americans, and Native raids on villages. The war would last from June of 1675 to April of 1678, and is known as the bloodiest war per capita in American history, with nearly 5,000 casualties combined. The war lost momentum when King Philip was hunted and killed at Mount Hope on August 12, 1676.
.

The Siege of Brookfield lasted for two days and was the culmination of Wheeler's Surprise, where militia under Thomas Wheeler were ambushed and driven to the town of Brookfield by Nipmuc Indians. Muttawmp, the leader of the Nimpuc, is said to have used a flaming hay wagon in effort to set a "garrison" house ablaze. A "garrison" house acted as a fortified stronghold to protect settlers and colonial militia from Native attackers. Settlers would have evacuated their homes and fled to this fortified structure to outlast the siege. The siege was broken when a relief force of 350 militia and allied Mohegan warriors arrived, which led Muttawmp to withdraw - not after looting and destroying many homes in the settlement.

This build depicts the initial Nipmuc assault on the town, with a number of Wheeler's retreating militiamen aiding the retreat to the "garrison" house. Muttawmp and his flaming hay wagon are visible atop the hill, and Wheeler himself can be seen commanding his troops in the village.

I urge anyone interested in this conflict to check out Atun-Shei Films and his series on King Philip's War. This was built immediately after BFVA so I could have something to post before I go back to school. The houses are inspired by @neighborhoodbricks and @spikyguy 's houses from their La Campagne build this year. The majority of the militia troops are @ktownbricks figures and heads.

Castle siege entry for Classic Castle Colossal Contest VI in 2008.
Contest entry consists of three pictures. Instead of taking three photos of the same MOC, I decided to make a little story out of it in three scenes. It is still the same MOC, but every time a bit modified.
Built for Category B of Challenge V over on Guilds of Historica, as well as a bonus entry to ABS Builder challenge. Credit for the arch design goes to Mark of Falworth.
The Katoren siege-workshop is in full swing as they manufacture all types of siege weapons for the war against the Spire.
