Hello Nick
If you are at a higher level rather than individuals you can use the Fighting for Mexico army lists?
In 15mm there is a massive PP range. Including buildings suitable for southern border regions. link You might want to look into trains too as that would be the main way the Mexicans could get troops to the front after their cavalry had advanced. No truck bourne infantry. martin |

It's not a what if. Mexico did invade the US – Columbus, New Mexico, Pancho Villa, 1916. |

Great idea, but there was not a United Mexico. There were many factions.Carranza, Villa, Huerta, etc… |

I own both scales of the Old Glory Mexican Revolution figs. I love those figures. Great prices too! Thanks, John |

There's another possibility. In Irregular Gentleman, James Warner Bellah describes being recruited as cadre for a planned revolution--or counter-revolution?--in Mexico about early to mid-1920's, the plot being broken up by the US authorities. That gives you US troops if you want them, and as many factions of Mexicans as you have players for. This is prime Bulldog Drummond territory: all the vets who thought "peace broke out" in 1919, all the men who no longer had homelands, would pack their medals and beg passage money to Vera Cruz or Galveston. The thing so reeks of color that I'm a little sorry it never happened. Oh. Bellah. Soldier, Newsman and freelance writer. Scriptwriter too. All the good John Ford cavalry stories have Bellah's fingerprints on them. Hard to get his cavalry short stories, or Irregular Gentleman, but worth it. |
