Once Upon a Time in Mexico...Fistful of Lead Big Battles
« on: January 17, 2020, 03:21:53 PM »
Last night we had a small battle by Basement General standards, but it was another play test of "Big Battles".
Revolutionary forces were trying to capture a government gold shipment stowed away at the local leader's hacienda. They were also looking for a local priest to save him form Federal custody.
The Federales needed to reinforce the lightly guarded gold and capture the priest who had been preaching insurrection to the locals.

Viva Villa! Viva Mehico!

Six squads of six figures, that's great that it worked so well with larger numbers. Excellent stuff :-*

Nice to know that work is progressing on the Big Battle rules.
Encouraging that it was viewed as fun.

Fun over "historical recreation of early 20th century warfare" is always my aim.
