Another excellent article with pictures this time. LARGE pictures, and in English for those of us language challenged...(that was a joke by the way okay kids?)

I'd say the only real control extends to the spot the Federales are physically standing on . . . the loyal ones that is.

You guys are looking for news? ok: As I type around 100 vehicules with roughly 1000 naval infantry elements are arriving to "frontera chica" (little border) wich encompasses the cities of Mier, Camargo, Guerrero, Miguel Alemán and Diaz Ordaz (border with Roma, Rio Grande and adjacent towns in TX) Seems like they´ve arrived campaign-prepared carrying all kinds of supplies, I believe this is the largest force ever deployed by naval infantry ever in this "war". Frontera chica is one of the border´s most violent spots right now, along with Juárez, Reynosa and Tijuana. Most of the engagments and firefights are not reported simply becasue there isn´t any reporter left at these towns, either they were killed, threatened of simply gone, so it´s a little tricky even for us mexicans to get a grasp of what is really going on at frontera chica, just about 110 miles NE from MTY.

Recently I´ve been thinking about some scenario ideas for MDW campaign involving mexican marines since the recent and growing involvment of mexican navy special forces in battling the cartels. Remember the Cuernavaca operation? yeap, that was them. The governemnt is throwing these brave boys after the current most dangerous targets, keeping in mind they´re battling against special forces desertors, some trained in the US.

Fortunateley for me, Green in spmbt has marine infantry with m16s
