| 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.

The French take the day, the Mexicans were woeful....
Apologies,It was a long time in coming, we just don't get the time to play any more. However it was a 'Mexican Massacre'. Who took the Mexicans & the truly woeful die rolls..... (yours truly). A very colourful battle, at least it was fun putting the armies together, the bit I enjoy most....lol
