Viva la Revolución: An Experimental Quest in Revolutionary Mexico

[x] The Zapatistas. The rich have dominated Mexico for too long, let bring forth a truly peasant solution to us all! Igualdad y libertad!

[x] la Centro - Heartland of Mexico's agriculture, the haciendas rule the roost and the peasanos do all the work for the privilege of living in a room. To feed or not to feed, that is the question, however this region is hard to swap, as the enfiefed ideals of colonial Mexico are still strong here. Current battleground of the Civil War.

[x] No One - Mexican Wars for Mexicans!

[x] The International YES - The International will never give up on their fellows!

I think the Zapatistas should either focus on the empire instead of the Magnonistas or hold position in the north and fight off the Guatemalans in order to avoid directly engaging the Americans for as long as possible.

@Dadarian, a question.

Who is the 3rd Republic of the Yucatan going take their pound of flesh from?
he already answered that like 5-6 posts up
 
[X] The Free Republic of Lower California. Why not? There's money to be made.

November 1911
November 1911
"Estancamiento"

Dark Grey: Third Mexican Empire
Pink: Las Zapatistas
Dark Green: Third Republic of the Yucatan
Yellow: Magonistas
Light Blue: United States of America
Red: Free Republic of Lower California
Light Green: Republic of Guatemala
November saw the increased stagnation of the major fronts of the Civil War. Across the American-Imperial front, gains were rare and few, throughout the Metropolitan front it was much the same. The only real movement was in the north, where the collapse of the Magnonistas benefited all parties. The Republic of Lower California seized the islands while the Imperials, Americans, and Zapatistas all moved their respective front lines up in some cases hundreds of miles.

Meanwhile in the south the Guatemalans continued to advance through the state of Chipas. Luckily for the Zapatistas, the Yucatan Repubic honoured their agreements to the Zapatistas and countered the Guatemalan advances. The Mayans, trained in jungle combat, made excellent headway against their foe.

In both the north and the south, vast battlelines were drawn. Trenches were dug. Men waited. As December dawned, it seemed that the rapid advances that defined the previous year were at an end.

Mexico is still off the rails, out of the gorge, and somewhere in the pits of hell. What's next to come?

~ ~ ~ ~
It is December of 1911, Mexico erupted into armed discontent.
Who do you support?

[] The Third Empire of Mexico. His Imperial Highness returns! Viva Agustin! Viva la Emperor!
[] The Zapatistas. The rich have dominated Mexico for too long, let bring forth a truly peasant solution to us all!
Igualdad y libertad!
[] The Magnonistas. True freedom occurs solely in an anarchist state, the revolution must be brought further in Mexico!
[] The Free Republic of Lower California. Why not? There's money to be made.
[] The Americans. This nonsense needs to come to an end, America is the only power that will dictate terms to Mexico.
[] The Guatemalans. Chipas is ours!

However the civil war has expanded wildly outside the initial imaginations of those that started it. Generals, Caudillos, Mob leaders where will the next offensive be launched?

Where will you attack?

[] el Norte -
The deserts and mountains of the north hide hardy farmers, squalid forts, and banditos. From la Baja to Chihuahua and Sonora, these lands are the most difficult to take and difficult to lose. Land is often concentrated in the hands of titled aristocrats and their haciendas. Home of the Magnonistas.
[] la Centro - Heartland of Mexico's agriculture, the haciendas rule the roost and the peasanos do all the work for the privilege of living in a room. To feed or not to feed, that is the question, however this region is hard to swap, as the enfiefed ideals of colonial Mexico are still strong here. Current battleground of the Civil War.
[] la Metrodad - The heart of Mexico, it is the city of Mexico and it's surrounding environs. Home of the rich, the poor, and the entitled, it is the most populated bastion of support, but at the wiles of whomever has the ears of the mover and shakers, both high and low. Home of the many trenches.
[] la Sur - From Oaxaca to Chiapas, this is a region of biodiversity, white sand beaches, and hot blooded politics. Long peaceful from the war, Guatemala's intervention has brought war back to the region.

Shall more intervene into the war?

[] Third Republic of the Yucatan -
Guatemala has attack the Mexicans, perhaps we shall seek our pound of flesh?
[] A Mexican Coalition - It is time that fellow Mexicans stop squabbling for power while imperialists seek to occupy us! Magonistas y Zapatistas unite!
[] No One - Mexican Wars for Mexicans!

Shall the interveners continue to spend their valuable time and resources in Mexico?

[] The International YES -
The International will never give up on their fellows!
[] The International NO - The International has given up on their fellows!

I legitimately like the Third Empire so I'm going to vote my hardest against The Mexican Coalition.

There is no write-in for the Catholic Crusade, please edit your vote for that portion to count.
