Maximillian War - Imperial French

The mighty Imperial French Army that descended upon poor Mexico when they stopped paying them the debt money.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_intervention_in_Mexico

The foot infantry in this one are French Foreign Legion, the Cavalry are Chasseur d'Afrique & some Foot Artillery.

Vive La France!!!

I feel a 'Camerone' Battle is on the cards....

Big Fat French General leads the way
