The Alamo
A fast-paced historical conflict game depicting the defense of the Alamo. A small force of 183 Texan volunteers, including Travis, Crockett, and Bowie, faces 2,000 Mexican regular infantry under Santa Anna. The Texans are expected to be overwhelmed, so their objective is to delay the assault and inflict as many casualties as possible before the position falls.
