I've been having some odd drunken thoughts related to Mexico in the Mexican-American War and the French Intervention, as I live in an area that was conquered and annexed by the US Army in 1846. My question is in three parts:
(1) Are there good gaming-related resources and miniatures related to the Mexican-American War of 1846-1847? I imagine the Mexican-American War would be a good fit for Black Powder and Fire & Fury.
(2) Are there good gaming-related resources and miniatures related to the French Intervention? One of my plans related to my Texas Unionist brigade has been a regiment of Tejanos in captured/smuggled Zouave uniforms, but did the European interventionists wear Zouave-style uniforms in Mexico? If I remember correctly, the interventionists included France, Belgium, and Austria.
(3) This may be very off-topic, but are there reenacting/reproduction uniform resources related to the Mexican-American War and the French Intervention? I understand there was a Saint Patrick Battalion serving for Mexico, and I am a pasty redhead so that would be an excellent fit for me.
