Thanks Richard Baber, this looks like a fun game! I love the terrain, and I'm excited to see what happens next on the train bridge. My money's on the train…! |

I wanted to add 2 things: 1. I find the Colorados pretty interesting, ill have to make a unit of them at some point. Orozco had been a PLM member or at least supporter of the Magóns and avid reader of their paper, Regeneracion, (which is obv interesting to me at least), before the revolution. In the early months, Liberal detachments fought alongside the Colorados, as did Villa's forces, in Chihuahua. Orozco later rebelled against Madero because the politician had failed to implement the land reforms so central to the people actually fighting the Mexican Revolution, and struck a conciliatory tone with Diaz's political institutions and leaders, if not the dictator himself. Unfortunately, in his dissent driven by Madero's betrayal of the revolution, Orozco hitched his wagon to Huerta, as wonderfully illustrated in the scenario above, for a few small reform promises. Thus, he found himself fighting against his old comrades, Villa among them. His reasons were largely lost to history, but his reputation as a revolutionary was tarnished for his support of Huerta.
2. It's nice to know, while I'm playing alone in my basement, that someone out there is fighting the Mexican Revolution, too. Good luck to you, Richard! |

Very kind, Yes Orozco and his followers is a pretty complicated part of the revolutionary wars. First they were pro Madero, then the two fell out – lets be honest Madero tried to appease all sides effectively everyone turned against him and Huerta eventually just had him shot :( Huerta and Villa were both involved in defeating Orozco`s rebellion – the Second Battle of Rellano (which you will find here – link ) saw them fighting together! But when Huerta took power he needed support and offered Orozco amnesty and legitimacy, To be fair to him and his Colorados they fought for their new boss with bravery and commitment and are often noted as being the best troops seen at the various battles. |
