The Zigzag remembers the approaching of a besieged fortress: The sappers go never directly on the "capitale" of the bastion onto which they are digging, rather always in Zigzags (to avoid enfilading fire in their trench). I guess Napoleon, who was very profound in the art of fortress warfare, had this technology in mind ;-)

Following an obligatory upgrade of the forum imposed by the developers who maintain the website's programming (Wix.com), the forum has now been moved onto a new system called 'Groups'. Members should still be able to post as usual, by clicking the 'New Forum' tab at the top of the screen. We apologise for the inconvenience. Welcome to the future.
