Stumbled on this.  Not a period I've seen any interest in but for what it is worth http://gisby.info/mindex.htm

Thanks John, that looks to be pretty comprehensive and certainly an interesting period to game :).

One of my all time favourites

Mine too especially as one can use Sudanese, Belgians & Austrians forces

I use the 15mm Freikorp range from QRF and a few from Peter Pig's Colonial & Wild West ranges. I've started using Bloody Big Battles for the rules

Here are a few AARs

Camerone & Puebla https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/2018/05/french-mexican-war-camerone-and-puebla.html

Sudanese & Austrians https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/2018/05/callejon-de-la-laja-mexico-1865-using.html

A solo game https://twomarshals.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-deserter-mexico-1864-15mm-solo-game.html

There are loads more on my blog

I love the variety of troops available, which is always an attraction. Some nice AAR there Alan :).
