| The battlefield of Los Pablos |
Imperial Mexican Army
1 x General, 2 x Cavalry (2pts), 1 x Artillery(1pt), 1 x Austrian Rifles(2pts), 7 x Rifles(7pts) = 12 pts
Republican Mexican Army
1 x General, 1 x Sub General (2pts), 2 x Militia Cavalry(2pts), 16 x Militia Rifles(8pts) = 12 pts
The main difference would be in troop quality. The Austrians classed as Crack (+1 Hit/Melee), The Republican Militia (-1Hit/Melee). The Republican Sub General would give them an extra PiP die roll.

What a bloodbath. Despite the score it was a close run thing. I love these small battles. Troop Quality showed in the end. The Austrians were unstoppable though they nearly got surrounded. The Republicans threw too many '1s' on the PiP dice.

'1s' on PiP Rolls suck
'1s' on Combat Rolls suck
