[Historical] 5:00 am - Sunday, March 6th, 1836 Santa Anna's Ejército de Operaciones en Tejas (Army of Operations in Texas) assaults the Alamo (Mission San Antonio de Valero.) Within 20 minutes the Mexican soldados (soldiers) had entered the compound, and by 6:30 am Jim Bowie, Davey Crockett, William Travis and some 180 other defenders lay dead. Their thirteen day ordeal was over, but their heroic defense of the Alamo became the rallying cry of the Texas Revolution, and its memory still lives today. NOTES--- This scenario lasts forty minutes. The Mexicans move first. Victory Points per 25 men: Infantry = 15; Cavalry = 20. Victory Points per Artillery Piece = 20; Supply Point = 1 (VPs only count torward Mexican losses). Editor's note: This scenario has been edited to play out more historically, to better capture the "feel" of the battle and to make it more of a playable experience.
