"Molino del Rey & Chapultepec" Topic

Hello folks, the North Atlanta Gamers (affectionately referred to by me as NORTHAG) will meet on Saturday, May 21 to re-fight these two battles in 28mm. We will use Regimental Fire & Fury. The sculpted terrain boards are still in a warehouse in Florida so I had to use mats. However, it still came out well. The castle was custom-made for me by Tom Milmore a number of years back. Here are a few choice shots. My Facebook page has an album with a few more.

Sorry about the post on the 18th century gallery. I blame my 55 year old eyes. It was meant for the 19th century gallery.

Damn nice terrain and figures ACWBill!!

I remember playing and helping run some of those Bill. You always had the best figures and terrain.

Thanks Gents, it has been awhile since I dragged out the MAW stuff.

Very Nice!

Beautiful stuff. Thanks for posting.

We still remember your Chapultepec game at one of the Orlando conventions some years back as one of the greatest convention games ever.

Thanks Rick. I do appreciate the comments.

I love the MAW, but have just never found the right ruleset for it.

General Moreno, could you give us a link to your pics? Your facebook ( which I hardly use) has only you 10s everywhere.

Try the link above. It is on my personal page, not on Good Ground Miniatures, which is indeed, almost all about my 10s.

And I get this

The link works fine for me. If you email me your Facebook name, I will share the album with you.

Done. Very inspiring. Had hundreds of the same once, sold the whole lot; too much weight and space in 28 mm, not enough battle depth.
Might redo in 18 mm one day.
Chapiltepec is top notch.

El Castillo de Chapultepec! I've been to the real one!

Holy cow, do I miss Mexico City…

ACWBill: Wrong place or not the pictures are great. I find the MAW war to be very interesting. Puts me to mind of some great MAW games I was fortunate enough to be involved in about 20 years ago. Love your Chapultepec!! Thanks for the photos, John Miller

In honor of your wonderful photos, and the joy they've given me, I poured lime juice on the pork roast I had for lunch today.

See, 'cause Mexicans, man, we put lime on everything.

Lime is good in everything but beer. As Norm said to Sammy, "Ya know Sammy, nothing says class like a lump'o fruit in yer beer"!

For Brian W

I'm working up toward a series of MAW games with my 15mm collection of about 2,000 figures using the Piquet-Hallowed Ground rules. Our gaming group uses Piquet-Cartouche for many rousing games of Seven Years War, and also Piquet-Din of Battle for many rousing games on the Maximilian Adventure. Once we've played a few MAW games by around July or so, I'll provide a report. Our group really enjoys the Piquet rules.

Also, once we get the MAW series going, we're going to take a look at adapting the Piquet-Barrage rules to the Mexican Revolution.

Enjoy your games.

Bill, the Chapultepec Castle is drop-dead gorgeous!

Tom

That's look wonderful! Although I do admit for a minute there I almost thought it was The Alamo!
