Sounds good, other than a small (maybe -5 or -10 supplies) supply decrease, or a minor +1 dissent what do you propose. A chain for the US to go to war with Mexico? (I always thought we should have access to the Gulf of California.)

Technically, they should go to war with Mexico, but I fear they may utterly crush them with a 100 division army.There's also the possibility that the Mexican civil war might still be on - but would the United States deal with a person like Huerta?
Well we could do this:Allenby said:I don't have any proposals I'm afraid, that's why I'm asking the question.

Event 1: For Revolutionary Mexico - To Raid or Not to Raid?
a) Historical Raid
b) A larger raid
c) do not raid
C) should sleep all following events in the chain.
a) Should just cause the US to spend some additional supplies tracking Villa around the desert (which is what they did, perhaps give Pershing a few exp, if possible.).
b) should escalate things.
Well since you proposed and I went to all that hardwork to flesh it out. The honors yours.Allenby said:Looks good! Do you want to do this, or shall I?
In all seriousness if you could do it then it would probably get done sooner (and not forgot about). I am going to be real busy for the next few weeks, and will be lucky to have time to drop in to read the forums.
Three events regarding Pancho Villa's raid on the United States in 1916:
one Revolutionary Mexican event:
61004 - The raid on New Mexico
two American events:
58003 - 'Pancho' Villa raids New Mexico
58004 - 'Pancho' Villa raids New Mexico and Texas
The first Revolutionary Mexican has three, choices, two of which lead to either one of the American events.

money. Additionally, Villa wishes to target El Paso after hearing rumours that
20 Mexicans were burnt alive when arrested by the police and soaked in
Kerosene, although it is not certain whether it was an accident or not. Villa
and his followers are resolute in their desire to make a demonstration against

This is a sad event, but I think that it should be used, after all, it is historical, and the extinction of the Passenger dove caused a uproar.

I've slightly re-jigged that pidgeon event.
The description comes seperately.
With traffic lights, gangsters, pidgeons and Charlie Chaplin films, I think we have enough US flavour events...
