Le Prestre Vauban & van Coehoorn

Nog eens even wat links: Dutch design versus Franse grandeur, deze sites over de meester vestingbouwers Vauban (de meneer onderaan) en Menno van Coehoorn. (Dus de meneer boven deze tekst)

Opvallend: geen engelse versie bij beide websites. Bijna geen woord over Coehoorn bij de Vauban website en andersom ook niet en beide websites kunnen wel wat geoptimaliseerd worden. Wel erg mooie plaatjes en op de Vauban website en goede uitleg van zijn belegeringsmethode.

Two links this time, one to the french Vauban website and one to the dutch Coehoorn website, both dealing with fortifications.

Do note the differences in style of the websites: the picture rich, attention drawing french site and the more stylised dutch one. Some other things to note: both sites don't have an english version, hardly a word on van Coehoorn on the Vauban website (nor the other way around as well) and both sites could do with some upgrading and editing. Very nice pics on the Vauban (pic below this text) website, and a good explanation of Vauban's siege method. (The french is easier to follow than the dutch in van Nimwegen's books!)
