Thanks.  Could you (or another expert here) explain fortifications?
I think I've figured out that they're a good thing for the defenders, :)
but I'm completely unclear on the details.

In the battle in question, the leader was indeed listed as having
leadership 32 overall, though in the slot listing she was only
credited with 8!  (Error, or can anyone explain?)

But even with tripling, that still leaves a base DF near 40!  I think
the worst were level 8-10 dwarf knights with plate and shield.  I haven't
totalled these up exactly, but my mental estimate puts these with DF
of no greater than about 30.  Could something else (besides leadership
and fortifications) also add, or could the two multiply instead of adding?

Thanks,  I'm just very confused.

Mike
