Description (713 chars)

(from the back of the box:) The French Foreign Legion is based on a genre of movies and serials that feature hard-cased Legionnaires defending a desert fort against hordes of fanatical tribesmen. The action is fast, furious, and unpredictable as the Bedouins rush the walls, throw their grappling hooks, and climb up for furious melees with the tough defenders. Can the walls be held, or is it time to fall back to the inner buildings? Will dynamite breach the walls, and will the heat cause men to be seized by "the madness"? What about the mutiny that was brewing? Can the discipline and strong defenses stop overwhelming numbers? Tune in next week for chapter 5, or play a game of THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION.
