What is your favorite historical battle that you would like to wargame, which involves the French Foreign Legion? Camerone? Dien Bien Phu? Narvik? etc. |

Fort Zinderneuf "My gallery of heroes…." Or Bir Hachiem 1942

Fort Zinderneuf, of course. It was in a book and several movies, so must be historical. Rob |

Camerone: These are not men, but devils! |

Camerone! I'm a sucker for a desperate last stand. My most common historical what-if with the FFL is Fashoda. |

Solferino springs to mind. Suppression of the Paris Commune as well. |

I really dislike games whose victory conditions run along the lines of "Everybody was killed by 2:00 PM. You win if you survive until 4:00." So, guess which battle by the FFL earns a negative vote from me? |

All of these … Camerone Dien Bien Phu Narvik Bir Hakim And do forget when the UK invaded Syria and Lebanon in '41. Where at one point Free FFL vs. Vichy FFL …

Dien Bien Phu. I always find that engagement fascinating. At the moment I'm reading Valley of the Shadows, the recently released history of the battle which I'm finding quite entertaining. |

Camerone, the uniforms were pretty flash too! |
Legion 4 | 11 Mar 2019 7:43 a.m. PST |
Errata : And do forget when the UK invaded Syria and Lebanon in '41. Where at one point Free FFL vs. Vichy FFL … That should read … And do Not forget about when the UK invaded Syria and Lebanon in '41. Where at one point Free FFL vs. Vichy FFL … DOH ! |

Zinderneuf. Camerone doesn't have Gary Cooper. |

If Zinderneuf is in, Fort Zuassantneuf deserves a shout-out too. Sgt Knocker: 'The pill?…What do you suppose they used that for?' Cdt Burger: 'I can't conceive…' |
