	History of the Solent Forts \| Online Information Bank \| Research Collections \| Royal Naval Museum at Portsmouth ...
		In 1857, it was proposed that three land forts were to be constructed between the existing Forts Elson and Gomer, the Hilsea Line's fortifications were to be rebuilt at the edge of Portsea Island and additional works along the Southsea coast to be constructed.
		By the time the forts had been completed, the "invasion" scare had long since passed and although the forts were armed and re-armed as technology advanced, they were never needed in the capacity in which they had been planned for.
		No Mans Land Fort was bought by a property company with plans to convert it to a luxury home, complete with private heli-pad.

	WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
		The thing about forts is that they can be captured once all enemy forces have been removed from the area, you’ll notice the walls change to your color and then you can close up the gates and getting to raise an army to battle with.
		No Man’s Land also has an RTS version of Capture the Flag which is pretty self-explanatory; capture your opponent’s flag and capture it to win.
		No Man’s Land has excellent 3D-surround sound support, too, so you’ll hear wind blowing across from the left to the right and the sounds of waking water against your fleet of warships.

	GameSpy: No Man's Land: Fight for Your Rights! Preview
		No Man's Land starts with you playing as the Spanish around 1600 A.D. with the discovery of the New World, and then transitions to the British in the early colonial period.
		No Man's Land therefore closely resembles those massively long miniseries from the '80s, which spanned decades and used land as a central theme while the characters changed with the passage of time.
		Aside from that one issue, No Man's Land should certainly be a manageable RTS with only a few resources to worry about.

		No Man’s Land offers players the opportunity to step into the New World between the years of 1600 and 1900.
		No Man’s Land primarily uses the mouse for selection and control of individual as well as groups of units.
		It’s by no means bad, but control glitches, at times pixilated textures, and the general lack of depth in both the tech tree and gameplay keep any would be ecstasy at bay.
