To nitpick back, yes, if you opened 6073, it does accept the wall pieces, (I
have one you see, so I do know,) but it was not originally designed to do so.
The same with with 6074 and to the same extent as the 6081 with the baseplate
mounting.
To be fair to the castle wall components though, these other sets were
concieved either before or after the concept was initiated and then abandoned.
I personally will be modifying my 6073 to conform with my CWC system, and will
have a connection point at least on either side of the front of the structure
to add on to my little project.
