New Mexican Punitive Expedition figures from Jacklex

In 1916, General John “Black Jack” Pershing led an American punitive expedition into Mexico, following Pancho Villa’s attack on a town in New Mexico. Spencer Smith Miniatures now allows gamers to reproduce the drama of that campaign with a new line of 20mm figures under the Jacklex brand.

These miniatures have been sculpted by Jack Alexander, the founder of the Jacklex range. Click on the pictures for a larger version.

Peter Johnstone of Spencer Smith points out that supplementary figures can be taken from the Boer War range to represent more Americans. In addition he is exploring other ways of extending the Jacklex range.

The figures are not yet listed on the Spence Smith website, but can be ordered by email. The full list of figures is shown below.
