Pages: 16 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from the Network of Vauban’s Major Sites, UNESCO, English Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland, the US National Park Service, the Japan National Tourism Organization, Visit Hokkaido, Fortress Bourtange and italia.it (checked 3 Nov 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are simplified impressions: not photographs, not reconstructions of any real fort, not to scale, and not copied from any site plan, map, guidebook, print, photo or book. Not affiliated with UNESCO, the Network of Vauban’s Major Sites, English Heritage, Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland, the US National Park Service, the Japan National Tourism Organization, the Hakodate or Hokkaido tourism bodies, Fortress Bourtange, Visit Groningen, Visit Palmanova, italia.it, the UK government or any museum. Their names, and the names of the places they look after, are used only to identify the places and sources we quote.

Licence: personal use. Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your household. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For club, school or commercial use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
