Thank you Hal, but these are 20mm I only do 20mm – I can`t see 10mm let alone paint them :) |

Very nicely done! And you can keep the terrain and swap out the troops. (Was it in Metzger's Dog? Some late Cold War mucky-muck complaining that "when I got this job, our plan for war with Mexico was still to land at Veracruz. I suppose they thought if it worked for Wilson…") For that matter, the Spanish Colonial architecture wouldn't be much different if Sir Francis Drake was coming ashore. |

The buildings are very flexible – Spain, Italy, Sicily, even southern France plus North Africa as well as Mexico and Latin America – they will get used again and again :) |

Geography and rail connections – Vera Cruz is the closest major port to Mexico City (which was why Winfield Scott landed there) and it has a major standard gauge rail connection to the capital. |
