Design of the Roman Camp

Essay Essay Revolution 2: Electric Boogaloo Madness!

Well, due to an overwhelming number of requests, we've decided to do an article dealing with the Fung-Shui of a standard Roman Camp. (We never knew we were so popular among the soldiers! Keep sending in your letters!)
For those of you who don't know or are purposefully ignorant of the things, Fung-Shui is the barbarian art of placing buildings and furniture so that positive forces are maximised. Our resident Fung-Shui expert, Mufeng, had this to say: ' What you want to do is arrange related buildings and items in such a way that positive energy flows from the entrances of the tents flows around positive chi points of inflection. This will maximise the total harmonic efficiency of the structure.'
We thought he was making stuff up too, so we fired him and analyzed it the good old fasined Roman way: Does It Work? From this point of view, it is remarkably well designed. In three of the corners, we have the troop barracks bunched together for maximum efficiency. However, in case of a sudden attack, the tents are spaced far apart enough that troops are able to file out quickly and efficiently. Immediately below the barracks are the graineries, providing an abundant supply of food for the barrack's occupants.
In the center of the fort is the command headquarters, centrally located for ease of shouting at the garrison, and making it the most defended sector of the camp. The tribune lives in the remaining corner of the camp, and the whole structure is surrounded by sturdy walls.
All in all, this structure works. It provides the maximum amount of defences for a minimum of effort and resources. The buildings inside are all positioned in a well designed vaugely circular fashon, and the structure can be emptied or closed off ao a moments notice.
Once again, our army comes through again with another well designed procedure. We give it 5\5 Decapitated Barbarians.

BTW, There is this guy in my class named Mufeng, he just sort of pisses me off on a regular basis. I felt compelled to add him in this essay.
