Despite urreas success in the south his boss Santa Anna was about to throw it all away facing an over eger Texan army. After the way santa Anna had treated prisoners of war itcwas time to "remember the Alamo" Houstons forces wiped out the Mexicans and captured Santa Anna which allowed them to negotiate independence. Texas became an independent state which allowed them to make their own laws such as bringing back the slave trade. It also led to war with the US a few years later and Mexico loosing more territory

The two armies square up for a straight slogging match. The first to knock out half of the enemy force will win.

The final scenario. The battle of San jacinto

The Texans race forward but the Mexicans also advance on mass sending artillery shells across the field. Texan irregurs snipe at the lancers forcing the cavalry back as both sides concentrate fire on individual units.

After a vicious fire fight the remaining Mexican cavalry cuts into the texans who pull back the cavalry are shot up by three different units. Mexican cavalry falls short more than once and as the two armies get close the hit their own men.

The Mexicans realise they can do more damage to the texans in melee with even the cazadore rifleman giving up sniping to getting in close.

What started with a solid Texan advance ended in the opposite result to history. The battle was close with casualties down the line but the solid mass of Mexican infantry steam rolled up the line. A final victory and a final post for this project. I might be using these minis for blood and steel in future for smaller games
