The Battle of Fort Arid is a semi-fictional encounter set in French Algeria in the early years of the 20th Century. French Foreign Legionnaires supported by colonial troops of the Armee D’Afrique fight for survival in a dilapidated fort somewhere in the desert of western Algeria. Surrounded by a large and determined coalition of Berber tribesmen, the French forces have nowhere to run and must fight for survival or die where they stand.

wish i kept the airfix desert fort, loved the airfix buildings
First of all, it looks like it was a fun game. The video is great, by the way.
I liked your house rulesand now am really curious about your pinned house rule. I may try it in a later game. Even made a note of it 😊 so I wouldn't forget.
Inspirational use of the fort and figures here; I have some FFL and Mexican irregulars for separate projects and it recently occurred to me that I should plan some 1863 intervention in Mexico actions using both. Lots of the men there were veterans of Algeria and Italy.
Have really enjoyed this, you have made this period/game very gripping and interesting 👍. I will have to now look at this as a new project for this next year🤔 . Once again keep up the good work and keep rolling them dice.🤓
Great AAR !! Can I ask what figures and scale this is?
Lee are those Arab cavalry classed as irregular or tribal if irregular they require a 5+ to hit and if tribal a 6+ to hit and the dice thrown at 51:29resulting in 6,5,5 and 4 according to the rule still only make one kill when they need 3 kills to remove a figure
A second question what make are the french triallers as I checked Blue Moon only make Foreign Legion and Arabs?
