Description

The Mexican assault on the Alamo. This game uses the Hougomont : The Rock of Waterloo system. A small group of Texans defend the fort of Alamo against the veteran army of Santa Ana.

Victory is determined by how long the Texans can hold until they bite the dust as well as casualty level of the Mexicans. Chrome includes 'dead markers' to indicate where soldiers have fallen.
