A war I know little about but some interesting and colourful units on both sides.
I played Mexicans with Shane against Bryn and Billys grandson Luke.
Nice hard fought game with a very quick playing set of rules (ideal for a club night game).
Shanes Infantry and Cavalry Brigades both broke rather quickly but I managed to break two of Luke's foot Brigades (he is very partial to charging rather than shooting !).
We called it a draw but with the US Cavalry still intact it was likely my now open left flank would be highly vulnerable.
Great game in good company.
Also on go at club was a 15mm WW2 Eastern Front game using Kampfgruppe Commander III (would have liked to have seen these rules in action but duty called in Mexico.
The MAW game is a handsome one!
ReplyDeleteYes Billys stuff is excellent
DeleteExcellent looking game Sgt. I'm rather partial to the Mex-American War myself.
ReplyDeleteCertainly got me interested to read up on subject

The Mexican uniforms are very French influenced and included an Irish Regt.
