Hi Kurt,
Someone else can probably tell you exactly when the Roman fort was first offered but I can tell you that it is long retired and included the following:
RO40A Main Tower w/Double Gates and Bar ($77)
RO40B Corner Section ($35)
RO40C Straight Wall ($24)
RO40D Small House Barrack Block ($23)
RO40E Stairs Section ($23)
RO40F Small Gate Tower w/Double Gates and Bar ($41)
Prices are within a dollar of the original price for each item.
To make the complete fort you need:
RO40A Main Tower w/Double Gates and Bar (1)
RO40B Corner Section (4)
RO40C Straight Wall (2)
RO40D Small House Barrack Block (1)
RO40E Stairs Section (1)
RO40F Small Gate Tower w/Double Gates and Bar (1)
Toward the end one of the gate towers ran out before the other, but they were interchangeable so people just used two of the one that was left and it still looked cool. The gates both had opening/closing doors and all pieces were hand-cast and hand-painted.
It's been several years since I shipped my very last fort to France. The fact that someone would be willing to have such a beast shipped all the way from the US to France shows you that by the end of the run they were quite sought after.
JG Miniatures currently produces a
Roman fort. It isn't cheap but it looks fantastic. It is meant for 1:32 scale but as long as you don't have a horseman going through a gate you can get away with using it with 1:30 scale. Food for thought!
Regards,
