155 years ago the Third Company of France's First Foreign Regiment proved their fidelity to mission, fighting against overwhelming odds of roughly four-hundred to one, until nealry all were dead or wounded.
I put an AAR on my long-dormant Camerone Day blog from a recent Camerone game run by my friend Nick Stern at his local club in Northern California.
Since it's still April 30th CAMERONE DAY here in Los Angeles, this seems a good time to post a link here...

If you're interested in an older AAR from the 150th Anniversary game Nick and I organized on April 30th 2013 (back when I was still a lurker around these parts and not yet an active thread-starter) with waaaayyyy too many photos, here's another link, and thanks in advance for your time if you choose to click on either or both of them:

I really like it!

Looks like a spectacular game
-
Any combination of Mad Guru and Nick Stern is bound to lead to some beautiful gaming. And I'd say that applies here.

Love the photos.
Thanks very much for sharing.
-
Lol. I copied your terrain. lol
-
Thanks very much for all the comments everyone!
@Smokey: I'm honored to hear you copied my Camerone buildings, my friend! I can't take credit for another man's work and though I did the reseatch and designed the layout it was made for me by Chris Riordan AKA: Chris The Model Maker. BTW, recently saw on an old Camerone-related post that not so long ago you sir actually VISITED CAMERONE, which is AMAZING! I almost got there a couple times but it never worked out. Hopefully someday I'll make it and be able to follow in your Hurricane footsteps.

Yes, I knew that, as your site is my reference go to for Camerone. :)
My Mom actually saw a re-enactment of the battle "and Puebla) when she was a kid (she's from Mexico)
