For many years now we have tried to get an annual Alamo game at MillenniumCon Texas – only seems right to have the Battle of the Alamo played at Texas' biggest wargaming convention. This year it has finally happened. Visit the MillenniumCon website for more information: millenniumcon.info

That looks great. I have always been fascinated with John Wayne's Alamo film as well. Here is my attempt at the battle:

Everything looks great. Just looked at the pictures guys. So in any of your refights, do the Texans ever win? Serious question. If so, how? Thanks |

"Texans will almost certainly lose…" Just didn't have any real Texans playing the game. Seriously, a very nice set up. I played in the 1980's version built by Rich Hasenauer (of Fire and Fury Fame), and it was a blast! Hope yours goes well! |

Looks very appealing to this Texan. Sure hope some brings a couple of Apache helos with infrared so our boys have a chance! |

Someone used to run the Alamo at Historicon. The rules were on the back of a ruler. Anyone know where you can get a copy of those rules? |

And your miniatures look fantastic |

I showed this to a friend of mine who is a big Alamo buff. He pointed out one thing that he says every gamer gets wrong. The east wall could not be attacked, as there was a giant water runoff catch basin there. A bit like trying to attack across a lake.
Otherwise, your whole set up is absolutely spectacular, well done! |

Very impressive! I'm working on my own Alamo game for GaryCon March 2023, using the Vatican Enterprises 25mm Alamo model, vintage 2002 (with some conversions and augmentations) -- it's not nearly as accurate as Old Glory's is. But I spent a year painting it, plus all the time and money to collect and paint 20mm plastic soldiers to place in it, so I'm stuck.
