"Remember the Alamo!"

Dive into history and heroism with The Alamo 1836, a solitaire war game that lets you experience the last stand of the Texian Militia at the Alamo Mission. Relive the courages stand of 250 Texians led by Davy Crocket, James Bowie, and William Travis as they defend The Alamo against a professional Mexican Army numbering around three thousand soldiers.

On the morning of March 6th, 1836, the Mexican Army under General Santa Anna's command began their final assault. Texian sharpshooters, including the legendary Davy Crockett, took their toll on the attacking force, picking off officers and disrupting formations. Hand-to-hand combat erupted as Mexican soldiers swarmed over the southern wall. The Texians, fighting for their lives and their fledgling republic, used muskets, knives, and even cannons loaded with scrap metal to repel the invaders.

The fighting was fierce and unrelenting. Though outnumbered and outgunned, the Texians fought with courage and doomed desperation. However, as the battle progressed, the tide turned. Mexican soldiers, in wave after wave, breached the Alamo's defenses, pushing the Texians back into the interior of the compound.

The fighting devolved into a brutal close-quarters struggle, with every doorway and building a desperate battleground. By mid-morning, overwhelmed and surrounded, the last Texian defenders perished. Santa Anna, in a brutal display of power, ordered the execution of any survivors, including those who had surrendered. Can you hold onto The Alamo?
