Re: French Foreign Legion in Fort set by Strelets!
I already have the Airfix Fort Sahara which I thought gave to much of an advantage to the FFL against those Bedouins that had so many mounted men (horses and camels). If the FFL are to have a fort then their enemies need something to give them a chance of winning or they will just be picked off by rifle fire.
Re: French Foreign Legion in Fort set by Strelets!
Obviously there is the old Airfix fort but Italeri also do a lasercut fort which is very nice. They sell it in a playset which includes their nice FFL and their rather strange Muslim warriors set, some nice Rab tents, campfires and stone wellls. The fort is made by Sarissa, I don't know if they offer it separately.

Another thought for FFL and possibly other troops is a set representing soldiers fighting from trenches or behind sandbag emplacements or barricades. Even half figures that could plug into bases that represented the parapet of a trench, which some metal manufacturers offer could be a good bet.
Re: French Foreign Legion in Fort set by Strelets!
I'd like to see a 'fort set'. Not worried about uniform or weapon inaccuracies. A Strelets Fort Sahara would be very, very cool... maybe some rule too?
Re: French Foreign Legion in Fort set by Strelets!
Because I think that is exactly how they would look, figures with their legs cut off! Properly sculpted they would interact with the parapet much more realistically.
