Oh heck. That looks great. I'm inspired to paint my mountain of lead- Mexican American period. And for Fire and Fury, my favourite rules set.

Charlie, Please repeat my compliments from yesterday on the American army. The Mexican Army has to be one of the most colorful of any army ever fielded. You have even hit me in a weak spot since I also play the same period and scale. Beautiful period. I use Regimental Fire and Fury's Mexican War QRS and rules.
