The French attack at the Battle of Puebla 1862 |
The Mexican republic troops would hold a set of hills & the town of Puebla. Objective hold Ze French & inflict as many casualties as possible. For the French, punch a hole in the line & destroy the Mexican Army. An attack on the hills was on the cards as the town was a tough nut to crack.
