"Armies of the Americas" is an upcoming theme for our local group. I always enjoy a good historical scenario and found this for the Battle of Otumba, AS 1520, available as a free download here, albeit in French.
It pits IV/63 Aztecs against IV/19c Spanish & Tlaxcalan. It's easy enough to make sense of the deployment map, with a Road and pairs of Colline difficile (Difficult Hills) and Labour (Plough) features. The Spanish are sans l'Artillerie, per the scenario's only special rule, translated here with the help of Google Translate: "It is considered that the Artillery is already destroyed following the events of the Night of Sorrows and counts as loss in favor of Aztec player for the conditions of victory."
I'm looking forward to giving the scenario a try. Eric Donaldson's splendid Conquistador 3Kn Gen element seems eager to have a go at it as well, even if he is down 1-nil already at the outset.
Has anyone else here played this scenario? Or, maybe the scenario designer(s) is a regular on this forum?
