Hi, I got more data for the 5-pointed star fort.

From real data, they used a 500 strong crew for the fort, and each bastion had only 4 cannons, and 8 places available to put a cannon.
If a cannon was needed elsewere, they moved it, probably over wooden or stone rails. Each cannon montage weighted almost 3 tons (as in 2972 Kg).
I'm assumming they used 4 36-pounders, so that makes a total of 20 36-ps, which makes a cannon crew of (14-per cannon) 280 people, 20 of them officers, and another 20 kids dedicated to the ferrying of the gunpowder cartridges from the mini-powder keg to their cannon.

Behind each orillon, there was one mini-powder keg reserved for each cannon of that half of the bastion, and a stash of cannonballs that was transported by crane to the cannon. Give it 2 men per crane, 10 orillons make another 20 men for that task. That can be reduced to 10 men, 2 per bastion, intermittently servicing one crane or the other.

That leaves 310 people dedicated to the servicing of the cannons and their reload.
The rest 190 make soldiers, cavalry, officers and servicing/food crew.
