This is a long-delayed AAR of an in-person game played last year with the cunning Treadasaurus commanding the Mexican (Carranzista) force against my American Expediionary Force in Carrizal. we fought over control of the North-South road and the adjoining small town in this frustrating Infantry Attacks scenario that the defending Mexicans ended up winning.

Frequently stopping to try and decode the badly organized and poorly-written Infantry Attacks rules slowed down our play, and the mandatory FOW rule was a true impediment to play for the attacking GIs. This fracas ended with a Mexican victory as the American movement to contact served mostly to serve up opportunity fire targets at a shooting gallery. Morale checks were difficult for the Americans once they closed to assault range, and US casualties mounted. In the end, the dug-in Mexican defenders held out, losing only 5 steps and 2 leaders. The American also lost 2 leaders, and 9 steps. Both sides suffered decapitations, which hurt the defeated GIs more that their opponents.

I give this one a generous 2, although the very poor rules book and clumsy game mechanics really only rate a 1. Save this fiddly and frustrating, scenario for solitaire play only.
