Last night we playtested Dr. Simon's Mexican War rules; all the above figures are his, and rather splendid they looked too.
The above shot is from behind the Maximillian Government's lines. Government lancers have just charged up the hill in the foreground and are about to rout their Republican opposite numbers. The infantry in the forground are Mexican regulars, and facing them are elite Republican units (sorry I can't recall the unit names and backgrounds). I had ex-Confederates in one unit in my army, and the enemy included a fair number of French.
Here's a shot from behind the Republican lines, with my irregular cavalry moving up in the foreground. Shortly after this shot, the Government lancers broke through and captured my general who was commanding them. The game turned out to be a draw with both sides being ahead in some sectors, and we came up with some useful tweaks for the rules that Dr. Simon is writing.
