Previously lost in the sands of time, Peter Helm's original article on how he built his Foreign Legion fort is available again (illustrated with new photos by me)...

Full article and plans are here:

Niiiiice! Or, should I say, très joli, Monsieur le Constructeur!

This is really really nice. I just ran a Foreign Legion Scenario with a buddy at the Tactica.

We also had a Zinderneuf, but it was not as good as this one.

Cheers

YES

I´ve seen the greens long time ago, and loved them!

Are there any pictures from those Greens ?

Nice looking greens.
A bit of nostalgia - I remember the front page of Wargames Illustrated showing his fort and the figures

You and me both, but have you got the right magazine?

The Foreign Legion fort on the WI cover wasn't this one.

How intriguing, I wonder who that one belonged too then

It was a resin one, originally from Village Green I think.

I am of course wrong, the fort featured in WI was scratch built by Mark Allen. The figures were Peter Helm's.
