Of this there were three sorts: first, a &#039;&#039;front commanding ground&#039;&#039;, which is a height opposite to the face of the post, which plays upon its front; second, a &#039;&#039;reverse commanding ground&#039;&#039;, which is an eminence that can play upon the back of any place or post; and third, an &#039;&#039;[[enfilade]] commanding ground&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;curtain commanding ground&#039;&#039;, which is a high place, that can with its shot scour all the length of a straight line.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{1728}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Fortifications by type]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{fort-stub}}</div>
