Scenario Description:

This is a single player scenario.  Nothing extravagant, however, it is a re-creation of Mexican
General, Santa Anna's, seige on the Alamo Mission in 1836.  Research has been done to create as
much historically accurate game play as possible.  If you are familiar with the history about
this important event in Texas/US history, you know that the 187 defenders gave their lives
fighting for Texas independence.  Keep this in mind as you play the scenario.  It's not whether
you win or lose, it's whether you feel the emotion that Davy Crockett, William Travis, Jim Bowie,
and the other brave defenders felt.

You will begin the scenario in mid February, 1836, a short time before Santa Anna's men marched
on the Alamo.


Scenario History:

Read the history portion in this scenario for an account of what took place at the Alamo over 160
years ago.


Scenario Hints:

You should begin by looking for Davy Crockett and his Tennessee Volunteers.
Defend the Alamo at all costs.  That is what this battle (scenario) is about.
