How much important forts in wars?
Forts are not too important in war. Like castles in medieval times, forts could always be taken by a determined enemy using siege tactics. When an enemy appears and surrounds a fort or a castle and begins to lay siege, the fort or castle becomes a trap. By the time of the Civil War artillery had advanced to such a state that long range cannon could be used to pound even the brick walls of forts to dust. Forts can still be an obstacle and cost an attacker, but if the attacker is properly equipped, numerous enough and determined he can always take the fort. Even in WWII the US lost men in several places having to take forts which were over 200 years old, when the Germans holed up in these old French forts. But as Patton famously said, when speaking of the French Maginot Line of forts, "fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man".
