Looks like a very good game! I assume from seeing the Mexican flag on top of the wall by the gun that the Texans didn't fare very well? I defended the Alamo once….and got smucked (Thank you, Henry.).
Great looking game, thanks for posting!

Both flags as pictured are Texan flags. The Mexican flag with the "1824" on it referred to the Mexican constitution of 1824. All the Texans swore allegiance to that document. The Texans claimed that Santa Anna violated it. The blue flag being carried is some sort of American volunteer flag. Probably belong to American "Volunteers" who fought for the Texans. Don't remember that flag being there but it sure looked nice on the wall. |

I believe the other flag is for the New Orlean Greys. |

Looks like excellent game and figures but that picture viewing system is awful. Couldn't see a thing! |

Right on the flag situation gents
I believe that the 1824 flag & the Orleans grey flag were the only ones the defenders had. I added the 'bonnie blue flag' of Texas as artistic licence
Thanks for looking

Forgot about the Greys. Still wonder if Andy Jackson had something to do with them. |

Sorry to see the saguaro cacti. They aren't native to Texas. Perhaps a minor point, but I hope it will be educational. |

Great game and photo presentation. I enjoyed the photos, including the "edits" of depth of field, making an almost stop-action movie effect. Well done. |

Sorry about the cacti!
in my defence, the game was aimed at the non wargaming public in a tiny hamlet in Nottinghamshire – once they saw cacti it set the scene in their minds. But I will take it on board! |

Encouraging a misconception. |

There was a cactus? I must of missed it looking at the nicely done walls and units. Go figure. Great job, cactus and all. |
