Nothing quite like a traditional French Foreign Legion fight against hopeless odds, but to absolutely no real purpose. Must make for a one sided game, if one does throw dice. Bir Hakeim the honorable exception. Otherwise brave men let down by their political masters |

Got to play Camerone at one of the Historicons in Fredricksburg. If I remember correctly used a grid to speed up movement and measure distance for firing. It may have been hopeless but made for a very good game. |
