I have gotten to the 90% complete stage on the Valverde Battlefield. I will run the game at HMGS South Recon and HMGS Mid-South Nashcon. Still more work on the water, as it will require several more layers of resin. However, I think it is starting to look presentable. I will use the Regimental Fire & Fury scenario from the second book, my Cracker Line Range of 10mm figures from Good Ground Miniatures and Regimental Fire & Fury Rules.

Nice looking layout ( as always). Remeber it's Feb and the Rio Grande is at it's lowest level of the year.

Great work, ACWBill.

I ran the battle in 25mm years ago at a convention. It's an interesting fight with some colorful units. Your players will enjoy it.

Not to beg, but I hope you will consider bringing the game to a future Cold Wars, Fall In or Historicon so some of us "Cranky Yankees" can have a chance to play in it.

If you do, I suspect your PELA or Best of Show award will be waiting for you.

Enjoy the games.

Great work there! Very nice!

It may make it to Historicon this year.

Glad to hear that, ACWBill.
Outstanding work. Enjoy the games.
