I'm looking for a fun and fast set of rules for the Alamo. I played a game years ago at Historicon and am looking for something I can run at a convention with little headache! Hopefully something I can download. Something with suggested figure numbers would be a plus. :) |

See if George Knapf ever published his rules. They were fun and quick. he used to run them at conventions in the Midwest. |

BLOODY DAWN plays fairly fast and is lots of fun, but is probably not what you are after because it requires a massive investment of $$$ and especially of TIME before the first game. link It's worth owning, though, just to read, if you are interested in the subject. |

Our old game club used a set specifically for that battle. "Houston We Have A Problem." Email me and I'll send you a copy if I can find it…. mark@scalecreep.com |

I like "Come And Take It" fast play rules that appeared in an issue of The Courier. I think they were designed for convention play. They are available on the TexasWar yahoo group in the file section. Accounts for heroes, lots of Mexican casualties, and the Mexican army usually carries the day at the end of the bayonet. |

One of the best games I ever played was an Alamo game using the LotOW rules. We set it up because we thought it would look neat but it was an amazing game. |

By the way, "Come And Take It" may be the rules that you played at Historicon. They meet your other criteria of fast play, easy, and have figure amounts in the rules. |

Thanks everyone. I'm gonna try several of them. It looks like a good project for me and my boys. |
