News!!

http://www.funagain.com/control//productaward/~award_year=2010/~award_type=GMMAG/~VIEW_SIZE=10/~VIEW_INDEX=1

Runner up position on the Games Mag 100 simulations, from their buyers guide issue for 2010.

shortened description, for more go to GMT Games online at www.gmtgames.com

HoM offers a single campaign scenario playable in two to three hours, given sudden death victory conditions. This makes the game ideal for an evening of friendly play as well as for tournaments and play-by-email. If you enjoy the other CDG's, HoM brings you the Mexican-American War in a format that hearkens to the design elegance and playing time of We The People ™, the ground-breaking game by Mark Herman. HoM uses mechanics and cards to capture the excitement, tension, and uncertainty of this rarely simulated conflict from American history, the war that was a training ground for so many generals who would become fierce enemies in a later conflict. Can Mexico emerge as a new North American power or will the United States fulfill its Manifest Destiny?

Solitaire Aids

These are playing aids for solo play. I found the battle sections unsuited for solo play. In the other file, make some counters 1-10 and use them to record actions. this sheet is also a perfect place to hold the reinforcement chits and the heat chit.

Errata & FAQs v1.0

This is a first run of the consolidated errata and FAQs. It's a tad disorganized at the moment. Sorry! (I wanted to get the consolidation up sooner than later... perhaps we can reorganize it a bit later).
