Vtsaogames…would you happen to have the name of the source(s)? Thanks in advance. |

To the Last Cartridge, Alan Curtis, Nafziger Collection 2007. An excellent resource. Also, Bruce Farcau's "The Ten Cents War". But Curtis' book has more for the gamer. Exploradoa Bedoya should be Exploradora Bedoya. |

Thanks…I was considering that book, so I appreciate the recommendation. Next on my "to buy list" for the 2nd QTR of 2013!

vtsaogames you wouldnt happen to have any details of the uniforms of the Dos De Mayo troops..? I have the book from Caliver (English edition) but cannot find that particular unit. |

To the Last Cartridge, Alan Curtis, Nafziger Collection 2007. As planned, so purchased; just arrived the other day after saving all my spare peso's for the last quarter. I'll probably post a review in the (relative) near future. |

According to the uniform guide on the Outpost Wargames website, they have a dark blue kepi, tunic, collar and cuffs, with red trousers link |
