Since medieval times, the once-mighty Turks established hundreds of castles and fortresses throughout their empire to guard the precious few oases in the Libyan Desert against enemy armies and raiders. Though centuries have past many of these ancient forts were still intact when the
Italians took control of Libya.
The Italian garrisons modernized the castles by cutting new embrasures and rifle slits into the old walls. Safe behind the thick walls, Italian troops guarded the desert oases from Allied raiders.

Desert forts could also be found in Syria where the Vichy French incorporated them into a tough defensive network.

"See pages 126-129 of Burning Empires for all the special rules regarding the Desert Fort in Flames Of War."
Ruined Wall
"Some forts have ruined walls. These are treated exactly like intact walls, only teams can see and be seen through the missing part of the wall. Ruined walls are Difficult Going to all teams trying to cross them."
"You can replace up to two intact walls with ruined walls for -50 points per ruined wall."
