Excellent, a somewhat neglected conflict.

They are mostly Old Glory 15's and a few mixed Blue Moon and Eureka miniatures in the Mexican national Guard Battalion and the one of the line regiments.The cannons have a few Minifigs in the batteries.

Thanks for the question and viewing the report.

Very nice! How long did it take to play 11 turns?
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
