Spanish in 1898 Foreign Service Dress

Off the painting desk emerges a largish bunch of Spanish infantry for the Spanish-American War project.  Well, largish for me, anyway.  With a batch of 30 figures, these Old Glory 25mm figures with form two BMUs. 

With blue tunics, red trousers, and white sun helmets, these are smart looking figures.  When I first saw the illustration below of this Havana garrison unit, I knew I wanted to field these colorful lads.  I am glad I did!  This Spanish garrison will add much color to the Spanish Army.  The Spaniards may go down to defeat but will look smart doing so.

As with all of the Old Glory figures in the 25mm Spanish-American War range, the soldiers are not too encumbered with equipment or webbing.  This lack of equipment makes painting a snap.  Great figures and a pleasing result.

Next off the painting desk for this project will be 30 US Volunteer Infantry.  Like the Spanish here, the whole 30-figure bag will be tackled in one go.  While the Americans don blue shirts, no red pants for these cowboys.

Surprising to me is that the Cuban scenario still lingers on my gaming table, unplayed.  I really ought to either put the board into play or pack it up and move on.  After having given Fields of Honor-AWI a couple of games and enjoyed that, perhaps, I ought to move on to playing the more detailed, colonial version?  I did work out a set of rules using the Combat Effectiveness engine of some of my other primary rules.  Going that direction is an option too.

What scenario is envisioned here?

With the hex grid used for the recent AWI battle tests of Fields of Honor still occupying one end of the gaming table, I am on the look out for a similarly sized scenario to give the AWI version another try.  As a reminder, the hex grid is 8x6.  I am open to recommendations and suggestions.
