Maximilian Adventure - Battle of Morelia - Dec 18, 1863 - Setup

Battle of Morelia

I'm going to do a scenario loosely based on Republican General Uraga's attack on the Imperial held town of Morelia in Mexico. The Republicans were repulsed, but I'm not sure how it will work out when we play.

I'm using my 15mm collection, and Piquet rules.

Here is a photo of the battlefield. As usual, click for larger photos.

Imperial C-in-C:

I will post more photos once the battle begins.

1. I'm involved with playtesting two new Fog of War series games from Academy Games. The first one is about the Korean War, while the second one is about Burma. Both fantastic subjects for the FoW series! I hope I can post some approved photos in a future blog post.

2. I'm going to be playing Empire of the Sun (GMT Games) with a good friend this weekend, which should be thoroughly enjoying.

3. I've made a lot of progress on my SYW collections with more Swiss (in French Service) and Hanoverians arriving. Some shots below.
