[Historical] The Battle of Chapultepec - while not the final battle of the war, it was the final "major" engagement, and the end of the day would see the American forces at the gates of the city. The 14th would see the capitulation of the city and the cessation of hostilities in the capital area. For their part the defenders of the Chapultepec castle put up a strong resistance and the Americans had their work cut out for them. But numbers were against the Mexicans and after two hours the fortress would be in the hands of the invaders. This scenario only covers the conflict around the fortress, as the two city gate assaults took another 9 hours to complete and were relatively minor actions not deemed worth covering in this treatment.
