Hi All,
For those, like me, that have been struggling for the last 4 years to set up your Desert Forts not having corner towers to provide the correct corner to your Forts!!! Hurrra...Andy and the team have fulfilled our request and the Corner tower is now avaialble........
Pictures below....
I have ordered mine.. Expect {sm4}{sm4} nice fort action dios short to come....Let our imagination now flow and new great angles to pitch/picture our desert battles.....Even create small strong points or watch towers using the add on desert village wall sections:salute:::salute::
Cheers
Luiz

Hi Luiz,

Good news for Desert Village collectors. I have a few of the buildings and the gate tower which make wonderful props. I purchased one of the wall sections after it was released a second time and although collectors seem to love it, it was my least favorite structure. One of the reasons is it seemed out of place with nothing to really go with it. A corner section certainly helps resolve this issue.

I look forward to seeing your dio with the new addition(s).

But where are the doors to get to the windows?

Good Question ... but I guess we use the stairway to the upper walkway and then step up to the top platform?

But this theory falls apart if you use them standalone.

Hi Scott and Larry,
Good point ......{sm4}{sm4}
I was so thrilled that the corner towers were out and placed the order, that forgot to check that.....As Larry points out the leap will be from the stairs that lead to the battlements to the tower top....{sm4}
The question then is... how does one get to the windows as there is no trap door at the top of the tower nor a door at one of the faces .... aligned to the first floor of the straight wall or at the foot of the tower....But that is fine we take an artistic license and make believe that a trap door exists of the floor of the top of the tower....
Maybe Andy and the team can include a trap door and a door at the base of the tower on future releases. That would cover both the way into the tower in the event it is used as a corner tower and if used as a strong point ( standalone ) , the gound door that otherwise will be hidden by the strainght wall will show up.
Cheers

As the corner towers are to be used with the wall sections reasonable to state that access to inside of corner tower is from inside the side walls
