Welcome to the Mexican-American War In Miniature Page! The Mexican-American War has always been fascinating to me. It was the training ground for future generals such as Lee, Grant, Longstreet, Meade, and many others. It was the last clearly Napoleonic war fought in North America, and presents the miniature gamer with a unique variety of colorful units.

Contributions to this page from others will be GREATLY appreciated. Otherwise, this page is simply a collection of my thoughts and resources, not a resource for gamers interested in trying out this period. Please, please, PLEASE - send pictures of your figs, reports of your games, reviews of figures and rules.

E-mail John with any questions, comments, flames, etc.

Planning...

• Three frames - title across top, navigation left, main pane.
• background of perhaps the US and Mexican eagles. Flank title page with flags? Pictures of US artillery and Mexican infantry?. Generate logo of crossed flags?
• Navigation items include rules, resources, gallery, battle reports, how to's
• RULES - Review of each rule system that can be used for MAW. Comments from authors if possible.
• RESOURCES - links to groups (MexAmwar, Piquet, VnB), websites, books (broken into required and recommended), reenactment units?.
• GALLERY - gallery of photos of miniatures.
• BATTLE REPORTS - perhaps tie to rule page. AARs of MAW battles fought with different rule systems.
• HOW TO - articles about figure painting, terrain building specific to MAW.
• Mirror site in Spanish
