MADERISTA ARMY DEFEATED IN JALISCO, BUT FORT HOLDS
The Maderistas army has been destroyed. A large attacking force, lead by President Diaz and General Zapata, invaded Jalisco. The attackers managed to defeat all of the defending units, but only did minor damage to the Fort there. A siege of Fort Jalisco has begun, and it is unknown how long the Fort can last.
NUEVO LEON FALLS
General Venustiano Carranza has attacked and taken control of Nuevo León. The invading Renovadoras force struck at dawn, overwhelming the Villastas defense. Carranza is reported to be on his way to Nuevo León, to congratulate the victorious troops.
ANARCHY IN CHIHUAHUA AFTER BATTLE
A small Villista infantry force in Chihuahua was killed late this month. It is unclear if Presidential Federalis have control of the territory, of it is owned by forces loyal to Generals Carranza or Gutierrez. Thousands of men, women and children fled the territory, once the defending Villista force was defeated.
VILLISTAS ATTACK CARRANZA IN TAMAULIPAS
A small group pf Villastas attacked the Carranza-held territory of Tamaulipas. The invading forced reportedly killed an infantry unit, before being pushed back to the war torn territory of Nuevo León.
