Mexican American War Regimental Fire and Fury

Mexican American War 1846

Battle for Palo Alto

20mm Figures  by Michael Callus

Rules   Regimental Fire and Fury

                                                                                 




Initial deployment with the chaparral beyond the road



















Second session sees the high tide of the Mexican advance



The main attack of the Mexican right wing hitting 
the battery sending it silenced and damaged but 
not enough elan to breakthrough









With most Mexican cavalry leaving the battlefield 
broken the left flank was turned by the
 American flying batteries





Trying to regroup and under the threat of U.S dragoons



Last and final session 


Arista's command disintegrates rolling a 1 for base morale
with a -1 for heavy casualties and greater losses the cavalry
 broke and fled 


On the Mexican left the cavalry threat forced the infantry
to form square 




US flying artillery with cavalry outflank 


In a final spur of defiance La Vega charges a depleted 
spent regiment with the hope of breaking through
and capturing the limbered battery



The supporting Mexican artillery pivots to enfilade 
the outflanking US batteries damaging and 
silencing a gun section


The Charge falters 


US cavalry charges and  destroy the 
supporting battery


Mexicans rout and retire to 
Resaca de La Palma
