Good books and other resources.

I appreciate that most of the discussion has been about the revolution rather than the American intervention but for those interested in the US view, I would recommend  "The Great Pursuit" by Herbert Molloy Mason. This starts with an account of the attack on Columbus NM and follows Pershing's subsequent expedition, it includes some nice photographs and a .detailed map of Columbus itself.

First post here and unfortunately it's a sad one.
For those who are unaware Danny O'Hara passed away almost exactly a year ago.
I found out just before last Christmas.
His Carabina 30-30 adaptations for AK47 are part of his legacy.

Neil,

Thanks for posting. And welcome to the Forum!

Neil that is terrible news.
I have not seen Danny for along while but a good man he was.

Would you send me an e mail with details.

Perhaps he should become one of our "figures of fame"?

I only met Danny once on a visit to my parents in Cornwall when I called into his local wargames club. He was very welcoming and seemed a decent guy.

I think he's deserving of a special figure, how about one for the "new" MexRev range?

Best wishes,

Martin,
E-mail sent.

I think a figure would be a great way to commemorate Danny.

He referred to himself as "Mad Dan O'Hara" due to his propensity for "odd" "obscure" or unusual wargames periods.

Perhaps a "Mad Dan" soldier of fortune for the Mexican Revolution like James Coburn in Fistful of Dynamite / Duck you Suckers!
