		This type of mantlet served the same purpose as a sap roller or stuffed gabion, but was much easier to maneuver, especially in difficult or uneven ground.
		Embrasure mantlets could be given a wide range of forms from swinging iron or wooden shutters to rope screens hung from the crest of the interior slope.
		Circular rope mantlets that were made to fit over the tube of a piece of artillery were popularized during the Siege of Sebastopol and also used during the American Civil War.

	Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: Tapered Thickness of Panther Mantlet
		The chin mantlet area is vulnerable to quite a few guns and ammo where the rounded mantlet would be fairly safe, with the chin mantlet making up the area where the rounded angles varied from 25 degrees to 85 degrees.
		The estimates for rounded mantlet area resistance to 6 pdr APCBC shows that penetrations at 500m would be possible at impact angles from 0 degrees to 30 degrees with 50% probability or better, and to 45 degrees with a low chance.
		On the chin mantlet version of Panther G, the lower half mantlet angles from 25 to 85 degrees are represented by flat areas at a 10 degree impact angle.

	PhpWiki - The West Curtain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		To the north-west corner of the inner ward are attached the ruins of the Gatetower, already referred to, built for John of Gaunt on the site of an angle, perhaps a postern, of the earlier curtain; it was already in ruins in 1543.
		The barbican is clearly a later addition to the gatetower, and the mantlet wall in its turn an addition to the barbican.
		The masonry, particularly in the foundations, of these structures is markedly inferior to that of the keep or even the gatetower.

	Official ICE Forums - Detect Magic & Mantlet scaling questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The original spell caused the caster to see a 'glow' emanating from magic items/active spells/etc. Adding a scaling option to Detect Magic to see this glow seems a perfect solution.
		It's a last-ditch defense that cuts him off from the outside world...no energy or object can penetrate it (he can't see out, and has a limited supply of air).
		I can do this by either having it provide a bonus to DB (like Mantlet) or by having hits that need to be overcome, like 'Force Wall'.

	Medieval Castle Siege
		The men operating the ballista and the archers behind their mantlets were, unfortunately, in range and they suffered the consequences.
		The attackers had to replace the ballista crew again and again, and many men were lost in a foolish attempt to retrieve a mantlet that had been abandoned near the castle walls.
		I also used the ladders from their Medieval Fortress kit which I purchased for a future project (it's a wooden fort and not suitable for use as a stone castle).

	Halfbakery: Coffee Table Mantlet
		The coffee table mantlet is a coffee table on large wooden wheels that looks very innocent.
		However when a sofa fort is established people can lift off the top of the table, preserving whatever was on it, and unfold the base into a padded mantlet (a wheeled shield that provides cover from missiles during sieges).
		Kids can then wheel the mantlet back and forward, being careful to avoid carpet moats.

		I’d like to confirm the mantlet thickness as seen in Jentz’s Panther book Drawing number 021 St 50258, PG 96.
		The drawing seems to measure a thickness of 4 ½ inches (114mm) that contradict Jentz own figure (and CMBBs) of 100mm for the mantlet armour.
