papamikeforthewin Amarr	Posted - 2007.09.29 10:34:00 - [1] Anyone ever got stuck remembering a word to the point it has driven them mad? Well thats happened to me recently and despite trying to maybe skim across a dictionary or guess with online searching I cant find the damn word! 10mil to the first person who can figure it out for meh. I know it sounds lame but ffs- I need to figure out this word its doing my head in. The definition would go something like this- A term used to describe a prepared killing zone- particularly in castle terminology. Its the area between two defensive walls for the specific purpose of a "killing zone" I used to know the word but for the life of me I cant remember it. Anyhoo it might give you all something constructive to do over d/t. gl

From what I remember its actual specific noun was used to describe the area between an outer wall and an inner one. I realise this is vague but if I could remember more I wouldnt have needed this post. Seriously its killing me.

Enfilade is a position where an enemy unit is fully exposed to fire. Give this man his money. He is right. killing field. Killing fields A Killing field was an area between the main wall and a secondary wall, so when the first wall was breached the attackers would run into the killing field to be confronted by another wall from which soldiers bombarded them. Soldiers would be positioned atop the second wall and armed with any variety of weapons, ranging from bows to crossbows to simple rocks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_fortification#Killing_fields *******
Adaris D-L	Posted - 2007.09.29 11:04:00 - [17] Further research on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_field In military science, a killing field is a field of fire, usually covered by machine guns in modern warfare. It may also be a region in which artillery, cannon, or mortars have been registered or deployed. Such a term may be used to describe the approaches to an "ideal" defensive fortification. The term originated in medieval warfare to describe areas within castles specially designed to bunch attackers, who had breached the outer defences, into an area where the defenders could kill them easily through arrow loops and murder holes. Often these were small courtyards surrounded by high walls. *******
Saibotek	Posted - 2007.09.29 11:06:00 - [18] Murder Holes - A section between the main gate and a inner portcullis where arrows, rocks, and hot oil can be dropped from the roof though holes. Provides good cover for defenders and leaves the attacker open. Only used when outer gate has been breach. Aisle - Space between arcade and outer wall. Linkage

If it had simply been a matter of looking at wikipedia do you really think I would have bothered with the post in the first place? Ive been searching for about 3hrs now in every book of military significance I can find in the house as well as skim reading a dictionary and the net. BTW I have OCD so before anyone starts flaming dont bother wasting your time.

Killing field may indeed be right and it is a medieval term. But I think "killing field" is too easy. There must be a more appropriate word from Old English or French.

Mark Lucius Forbidden Lore	Posted - 2007.09.29 11:55:00 - [29] Pomoerium? I am not sure if this is what you mean, but the description kinda fits with yours and the other answers given: This was a strip of clear ground immediately inside or outside the wall. The word is a medieval and later one, derived from the classical Latin post murum, behind the wall. An external pomoerium, stripped of bushes and building, gave defenders a clear view of what was happening outside and an unobstructed field of shot. An internal pomoeriun gave ready access to the rear of the curtain wall to facilitate movement of the garrison to a point of need. By the end of the sixteenth century, the word had developed further in common use, into pomery. from: wikipedia ---
Avon Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.09.29 12:06:00 - [30] Possibly the Barbican? I know technically Barbican is a tower, but this usage in terms of an entrapment point is common for British castles. The Barbican The Barbican is thought to be a 13th century addition to the Castle. The way that a barbican worked was quite simple. There would have been a portcullis gate at either end of the passage. The first gate or entrance to the barbican would be opened so that attackers could easily gain access, once they were inside, the first portcullis would have been dropped close. A second portcullis gate would have been at the top of the barbican passage way, this one would have been closed from the start. The attacking force would have been trapped between the two gates and contained within the barbican. Archers and other defending soldiers could then drop missiles or shoot arrows at the attacking force which was contained within the natural killing field of the barbican passage.

This courtyard is bare stone. There is nothing located here, no buildings, trees or anything. This is deliberate; the *courtyard* is a killing zone meant to get rid of any invader that gets past the gates. Taken from Keep killing zone Hijackzorzzzz Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content.

Sara Devi	Posted - 2007.09.29 12:54:00 - [35] When you enter Krak des Chevaliers, you go through a long, very dark tunnel. The reason it's very long and very dark is so that after you kicked in the doors and made your way down it you'd be chopped to bits by the Crusaders waiting for you, because your eyes are used to the dark by then and the sudden glare would blind you. I remember being there and seeing the area directly outside the end of the tunnel, and I remember that there was a term for the spot that fits what you're talking about. But I can't remember the word. Damn.

Its definately doesnt sound germanic nor strickly latin. I really dont know why I cant think of it. All I can think of is its definition as "field of death" or prepared field of death or something like that. Some of the answers given are incrediable but they arent the one I was thinking of.

Rooker Lysian Enterprises	Posted - 2007.09.29 19:23:00 - [62] Fire Sack: A fire sack is an area either forward of the front line of the strongpoint or in the depth of the defense, where a high density of preplanned flanking and frontal fire are placed on the enemy by all available means. Fire sacks are built to lead the enemy into the area, through the use of natural terrain obstacles as well as minefields, man-made obstacles, and terrain changes. Once in the sack, the enemy is cut off and surrounded by defending units. The obstacles on the edges of the fire sack will serve to contain the enemy, preventing escape. The defenses in the fire sack are well camouflaged and include the use of dummy weapons and positions. Declivity: The open slope from the covered way to the country surrounding a fortification, on which an assaulting force was completely exposed to the fire of the defenders. Also known as the glacis. Glacis: The area outside the ditch which was scarped into a gentle slope running downwards from the covered way towards the open country, which was kept deliberately free of any form of cover. The glacis brought an approaching assailing force into clear view from the parapet of a fortification under attack. Esplanade: The space between a citadel and the surrounding houses of a fortified city, which was purposely kept clear so as to eliminate any cover for an enemy force attempting to erect breaching batteries or making approaches. Killing ground: An area surrounding or part of a fortification, which was deliberately kept clear to deprive an enemy of any cover, thus exposing the enemy to a greater amount of fire. K(rai mon: The smaller initial gate of a masugata mon or barbican gatehouse complex of a Japanese castle, consisting of a three roofed structure (a central roof was flanked by another two roofs). This gate restricted access to the courtyard beyond, and if the enemy did gain entry to the courtyard they would be confined within that space and would be exposed to the fire of the defenders. Outwork: (1) The surrounding outer wall of a fortification. (2) Defences constructed beyond the line of the main works, designed: to keep the enemy at a distance because of the effect of the enemy's projectile weapons (eg. siege equipment or artillery); to break up the line of an assault; to cover the approaches to the other outworks; and when taken by an enemy force, leave them totally open to fire from the main works. The more likely ones from this page. I now give up. -- This Space For Rent

Wikipedia definition of Glacis This ground is located in front of most 18th century star shape castles. The wall shaped like stars are called "bastion" (same as in french), organized in star to get advantage of the "no hiding ground" of the Glacis and cross fire shots from the Bastion. The star shape also provide some cover to prevent enfilade fire when the ennemy make it to the walls. Link to a pic of a star-shaped fortress In french, pic of a bastion's glossary Walls All of this comes from the fortification article from the wikipedia. i think you should find what you want in this article. - edit - and before anyone asks, yeah, I'm waiting "Total War : Empires" like a mad man :) 2isk
Cutie Chaser Gallente	Posted - 2007.09.29 22:06:00 - [70] Originally by: papamikeforthewin The definition would go something like this- A term used to describe a prepared killing zone- particularly in castle terminology. Its the area between two defensive walls for the specific purpose of a "killing zone" I used to know the word but for the life of me I cant remember it. Anyhoo it might give you all something constructive to do over d/t. gl From your description I would guess you mean a gauntlet, i.e. running the gauntlet. *** Thats a Templar, the amarr fighter. Its a combat drone used by carriers.

The Socialworker Minmatar The Socialworkers	Posted - 2007.09.30 11:53:00 - [87] gl From your description I would guess you mean a gauntlet, i.e. running the gauntlet. I may be wrong here but I think the guantlet was an early explossive that was stuck to the gates of a castle etc and then hopefully it exploded and damaged the gates. To run the guantlet meant that you had to carry the bomb (or be one of the spare boddies for covering fire/human sheild/spare carriers for when the first guy goes down) run through the enemy fire, plant the bomb, and run back through the enemy fire again, and hopefully do all this while not getting blown up by your own bomb.
HandSoLow	Posted - 2007.09.30 14:12:00 - [88] It could be one of the following terms: Rampart Forecourt Bottleneck [This is the proper word, but youve already said no] Hoarding Slain Pit [rhymes with lame] ;) Bottleneck SHOULD be the word your looking for. As it has 2 walls at either side and it is a killing zone.

Torink	Posted - 2007.09.30 16:38:00 - [91] I belive the OP is thinking of the Barbican. The Barbican was an exterior walled passage with multiple gates leading to the main entrance ( the Gatehouse) - the Barbican really was a death trap! Defenders would fire arrows from loop holes in the Barbican passage walls Only a small number of men were needed to defend this part of the castle Holes in the ceiling, above the passage - called Murder Holes - allowed defenders to drop boiling water, heavy stones or hot sand on the enemy

I thought that the term "running the gauntlet" itself was a reference to an early type of torture/punishment myself. But for every phase there are a thousand stories of its origin, so no surprise there :P Nevertheless, if you are running a narrow corridor between 2 walls you are running a gauntlet, weather or not the walls are literal stone or rows of people armed with rods/staves/paddles. The sheer amount of terms for the scenario that cover the description the OP gave amazes me. Tons of suggestion and most are correct terms for it, even if they are not the one that eludes the thoughts of the OP :P Guess that just goes to show the complexity of language, eh? *** Thats a Templar, the amarr fighter. Its a combat drone used by carriers.
