Thanks, very interesting. |

Thanks. And they're the right size for a game, too. There's a place in my heart for Fort LeClerc--in Libya, but occupied by the FFL for about 10-15 years at the end of the colonial period and named for you know who. Much too large for a game, but it reeks of period. |

What are some good rules to game the wars in the 1920's? |

Nice find. Those forts look like terrible places to be
stationed – a true "Remote Tour" for the FFL. |

Actually, fort garrisons were usually drawn from native tirailleur and spahi units, and the pacification of Morocco was virtually over by 1926. At that time the main action was in the north: the Rif Rebellion and the uprisings of previously pacified tribes associated with it. |

That is too cool! Love the "roads" there. |
