This is an SASL Hypothetical Campaign recreating an incursion into Northern Mexico by the US 1st Cavalry Division in operations against the enemies of the newly elected President of Mexico, Avila Camacho in January 1941.

My command is the C Troop/1^st Squadron/7^th Cavalry Regiment/1^st Cavalry Division which includes the following units;

• x1 9-1 (Captain Torrance)
• x1 8-0 (1^st Lieutenant Narvel)
• x1 7-0 (2^nd Lieutenant Dins)
• x1 7-0 (2^nd Lieutenant Johnston)
• x10 6-6-7
• x4 3-4-7
• x6 2-2-7
• x6 LMG
• x10 Horses(3)
• x10 Horses(2)
• x4 Horses(1)

I have originally planned to use 5-4-7’s as the Base Cavalry Squad (M1903 armed) but these are not available in the US OOB so instead I am using the 6-6-7’s (M1 Garand armed squads).

A Weekend in Mexico

C Company/1st Squadron/7th Cavalry RGT/1st Cavalry BDE/1st Cavalry DIV
Campaign in Northern Mexico
January 1941

INTRODUCTION: This in a custom SASL Campaign simulating a “hypothetical” invasion of Northern Mexico by US forces in support of the newly elected Mexican president, . There are 5 Missions covering the period of January 18th to January 19th, 1941. This is 2 per day and one for the night of the 18th.

The theme is loosely based on the real situation in Mexico in the 1930’s. Before the 1940 presidential election between conservative candidate Juan Almazan and P.R.I. designate Avila Camacho, tensions between pro-fascist and pro-communist groups that had simmered since the middle 1930’s began to erupt into violence. Alarmed by the possibilities of an unstable pro-fascist or pro-communist government below the Rio Grande, the U.S. began to offer both covert and clandestine aid to the established government.

I’m currently working on designing an SASL Campaign based on a hypothetical incursion of northern Mexico in early 1941 by elements of the 1st US Cavalry Division. The preliminary campaign name will either be “Weekend in Mexico”, if I go with 2 missions per day or “5 Weeks in Mexico” if I go with weekly missions. I am also considering designing custom maps based on real life terrain of the “incursion area”.

Due to lack of time I have halted this campaign and may start it back up later. I believe I got burned out since I was trying to develop a WinSPWW2 campaign along the same theme. It seems the eastern front is getting old and I am moving on to another theater and theme for an SASL Campaign.

I will post more once that project is put together.

I decided to add a gallery to this Blog so I can keep my images uploaded locally on the server here as opposed to using an image-sharing service. That way I know they are always available should the free site go out of business or decide to become not free anymore and my files no longer accessible.
