The Defence of Vim Fuego

The title is a bit misleading, it wasn't a game. Just me setting up the vital rail junction of Vim Fuego, its buildings and its garrison and getting some shots.

The town of Vim Fuego consists of one street of noisome peasant dwellings. A church with a bell tower - Our Lady of Holy Misery. La Cantina Borracho that also doubles as the town hall. And the all important railway and its station.

The town is garrisoned by units of FLW's Army Lime Green del Norte de Anahuaco under the command of  Mí General Don Bongo de Baluna. The garrison comprises:

4 units of Army Lime Green infantry - 54mm

1 unit of Army Line Green Cavalry - 54mm

2 guns of Army Line Green Artillery - 54mm

1 Hospital Wagon of El Servicio Sanitario - 54mm

Don Bongo's mission is to defend the town, secure the railway & telegraph at all costs from Tarbooshian attacks.

All the best!
