Martian Front, The Battle of Caddo Lake: Phase 2
The Calvary of the 142nd Regiment

The Battle of Caddo Lake was a pivotal moment in the fight to save Texas. With its attempt to liberate Shreveport rebuffed, The Texas Tank Corps, now renamed the 1st Texas Army Corps, retreated outside the vast fields of the Red Weed, and then entrenched. It's north flank secured by Caddo Lake, the 36th, Lone Star, Division dug in using lessons hard won in the days when the survival of Texas was in doubt.

The cannons to the north announced that the 141st was heavily engaged with the Martian. With tripods in the distance, the 142nd awaited it's turn

Very nice! However, just thinking of Caddo Lake this time of year makes me sweat. Ah, the humidity.

Great AAR. Makes me want to reread the books.

Scott Washburn and I are drawing from the same historical references, but our campaign story lines have variances. For example, General Funston is alive in my stories, while his is dead.

Uh, I haven't killed off Funston-yet! You may be thinking of the official fluff in the rule book :)

Oh, you are probably right. So much for my Schrodinger's Funston joke.

Are you coming to Fall-In! this weekend? It's at the Valley Forge Convention Center. I'll be there with my PaperTerrain products and my publisher will be in the booth next to mine with all my Great Martian War books.
