The Battle of Fort Arid: Battle Report

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. 

Unboxing: Desert Fort from Blotz

Today's video is an unboxing of a 15mm scale Laser Cut MDF modular desert fort from Blotz. The fully assembled model is shown off and my plans for painting it during the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge are discussed. I'm really impressed with this model, especially when the whole fort retails at just over £30. I do love a bargain!

I was so impressed with this that I bought some more pieces while I was at the Broadside Show last weekend. I picked up a couple of short wall sections, another long wall section, a broken wall section to represent a breach, and another 'sticky outie corner'. In addition, I picked up a Middle Eastern building which is actually a walled complex of four connected buildings. Not sure how I will use this...but I couldn't resist buying it! 

Keep an eye on the blog during the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge to see how all these items turn out once painted.
