VILLA RIDES! The Battle of Conejos (1914) at Mini-Wars 2025

The forces of Pancho Villa are advancing towards the city of Torreón, a key stronghold held by the Federale Army. Control of Torreón is vital for Villa's campaign and must be seized. This scenario is semi-historically accurate and inspired by the 1968 movie "Villa Rides!" It is Last Stand Dan's version of the "Battle of Conejos" at the Nazas river. Villa has been tasked with attacking this heavily fortified enemy position, which could spell the disastrous end of his campaign against the Federales. Join us at MINI-WARS 2025 for a chance to enjoy this game run by renown Game Master "Last Stand" Dan Gurule, bringing it all the way from Colorado to Southern California, and play in this bloody but fun "Hollywood" rendition of the battle that serves as the epic climax of the movie!

Great looking table

Thanks for the positive waves, Richard Barber! This game was a big hit last year at conventions in Colorado and Florida.

Unfortunately the main reason I am back here posting is not so great, in fact it's a straight-up bummer:

Something has come up that makes it impossible for Dan to bring this game from his home in Colorado to our convention in Southern California. Dan sends his sincere apologies and his hope is that he will be able to attend Mini-Wars 2026 next year and bring this or another one of his games to our neck of the woods, but this year it's not happening.

Anyone who already signed up for this game should receive an email from our convention informing them it has been cancelled and encouraging them to go back on the Table Top Events website's Mini-Wars 2025 page and pick a ticket for another game.
