Description

Texas Glory is a strategy wargame that brings to life the exciting period in history when Texas fought for independence from Mexico in 1835 and 1836. This game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and it's designed for 2 players to engage in a challenging and exciting experience that lasts around 120 minutes. The game mechanics, including dice rolling, hexagon grid, and secret unit deployment, create a thrilling simulation of the Texan struggle to defeat the superior Mexican forces with a small but heroic army, led by men like Houston, Austin, Crockett, and Bowie. The game reflects the balanced struggle between the Mexicans and the Texans, where Sam Houston must delay the Mexican forces until he can gather enough troops to risk a battle, while the Mexicans must sweep across Texas with speed because time and supply are their enemies. The significant role of American Volunteers in the eventual outcome becomes clear, and intervention by US forces can occur, while the fierce Comanche are a threat to both sides. With its unique blend of history and gameplay, Texas Glory is a must-play for fans of wargames and the American West, offering a fun and engaging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
