Like the title says this is not meant to be based off the movie. The battle for the Alamo is one of the greatest events in history to me because it shows marvelous, patriotism, will for freedom, and honor. 120 men stand against Santa Anna's 6,000 yet fight bravely, to the last so they can be free from Mexican rule. This is meant to be historically accurate but since it's an rp I can allow a few changes such as, the battle being longer than six days, The cannon fire that aloowed the spanish to claim victory never happening, possibly the defenders winning...?

Word has finally reached you ears. The news spread like wildfire throughout the Mission. "6,000... that many...?" Similar words were wispered by many of the men. The scout had returned with news of the size of Santa Anna's army. It held 6,000 strong against their mear 120. The final battle plans were being made inside the catherdral, their ammo and supplies were low, they had few men, the inner choke points were being studied and the ammount of men on the walls was being contemplated. Could they last? Probably not but they would try. For Texas, for their freedom.

Note: this starts two days before spanish troops arrive, almost three before the battle begins

Rules

NO GOD MODDING

Bullets, if they hit you in the right place, will kill you.

If you die, famous or no, in some valiant last stand, falling in honor, whether you be famous or a simple man fear not. You can take control of another defender when you die, if you so wish.

No timeskips or reinforcements, I'll take care of that if it's needed.

Remember it's the 1800's so use tactics and weapons like you were in the 1800's.

Be literate!!! and keep it Pg 13

PM your profiles to me under Alamo

If you pick a famous person that took part in the battle make sure you know their backround/ General roll in the battle.

I will give you one warning if you break these, then your out. I will add more as I see fit. oh yeah, the PM's title should really be Texas.
