This is apparently a new set of rules for the Mexican Revolution just in at OMM. Does anyone have any information?

I had a look at the OMM entry for this, and it seems that the publisher is actually a company called Hoplite Research, run by Manuel Granillo. The rule book isn't actually available yet; it will be released later this month.

Eagle's Prey is the title of an existing set of HR rules covering every conflict in North America from 1820 – 1888. Presumably then, 'Villa Rides!' uses the same game engine.

I could find no mention of 'Villa Rides!' on the HR website, and there doesn't appear to be a Facebook page.

Does anyone have experience of Eagle's Prey or any of the other numerous HR rule sets covering a broad swathe of history?

Henry, yes Hoplite research just published Villa Rides for the Mexican Revolution. Log in to the villarides@groups.io to download free scenarios and other stuff. We have been releasing rules since 1994. Please feel free to ask any questions on the rules.
