I'll be digging out my Maximilian 25mm figs this year to run a Cinco de Mayo game at the local store. Any suggestions for rules? |

I would think some variant of The Sword and the Flame would be fun. |

Was wondering if Sharpe Practice might work? |

I don't know why it wouldn't. Is there a civil war version out? |

There are the Buck Surdu rules Santa Anna that cover the Maximilian Adventure have OOBs and a Puebla scenario. |

Oh, and the Scenarios book by Skirmish Campaigns has the same, and specific stats for TSATF |

At Historicon 2014, there was a Puebla game using Field of Battle 2. |

You could use Band of Brothers from Piquet. I ran a Puebla game at Historicon in 2012. You can find a lot of info about the game on my blog: link Eric |

We covered the Franco-Mexican war in the 19th Century Warfare and Wargames Facebook group. You can find the collected posts here link KTravlos |

I plan on doing it with Bloody Big Battles, perhaps for the anniversary. Hmm, it's on a Thursday, game night. That settles it. |

Many years ago, Richard Clarke (author of Sharp Practice) wrote some excellent articles about the Maximilian Adventure in one of the magazines. The ACW supplement 'Terrible Sharp Sword' fills in most of the gaps, including a chapter on 'up scaling' games. And TFL are having a sale on all SP material right now, ahead of an update and re-issue of the core rules later this year – but I'm pretty confident at least 75% of the material in the supplements will still be relevant. |

Richard's articles in WI on The Mexican Adventure, or the French Intervention in Mexico (historians recognise no such conflict as the Maximillian Adventure) were published when PoW was all the rage, and included unit ratings and scenarios for that rule set. In relative terms Puebla's a bloody small battle. |
