Hardins book is excellent. I found it a very enjoyable easy read.

 The scenario options are endless and there is a lot more to the war than just the Alamo which is most peoples point of reference. In my opinion the Alamo is the least interesting fight from a gaming point of view as its a forgone conclusion.

 Levied Troop's Conception is great one to do, fairly easy terrain to build an no need for loads of buildings. Mind you I really like the seige of San Antonio de Bejar and that involves building a whole town

Good luck, let me know what you think of the book in due course.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Thanks for the pointers there. I shan't be building the whole town (yet!).

Good luck, let me know what you think of the book in due course.

Will do, cheers.

I see you recommended Stephen Hardin's book Texan Iliad so I have ordered a copy. That seems like a good place to start as I know very little about this conflict. Looks like you're talking me into it!  

I bought that some time ago when Mama recommended it and have still not gotten around to it.
As I am the last chapter of book six of ASOIAF I think I deserve a change of pace and subject so now seems a fated time to finally read it.

Vagabond, are you being tempted to begin gaming this as well as me?

I don't think so, I am focused on building a small western town 1870's or so but at some stage I want to do an Adobe town, very impressed with Malamutes work on this.
However I did look in my French Indian wars box and there are some Dixon mountain men that in my innocence I have been using as trappers in Canada. So I have about a dozen painted figures.
Really like the top hats

Maybe we need to arrange a Sharp Practice 2 Texas War of Indepence weekends gaming.

That's a tempting thought

Thanks for that link, a thread to follow, definitely. I wish I could go tomorrow and have a look at levied troop's game. I see you recommended Stephen Hardin's book Texan Iliad so I have ordered a copy. That seems like a good place to start as I know very little about this conflict. Looks like you're talking me into it!  

I read it for the same reasons, and yes, it is a great read! Blood of Noble Men is also excellent.

I don't know, I go on holiday, and you have these beauties sculpted up.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Can't wait to see the Comanches.
