The Mexican Army maintained control of San Antonio until May 1836. That month the Mexican garrison received orders to demolish the Alamo before they withdrew. They knocked down some of the outer walls of the compound, including the log wall known as Crockett's Palisade, so it could not be easily refortified by the Texians. [3] Many of the wounded Mexican soldiers were housed in San Antonio following the battle.

Only one flag is known for certain to have flown over the Alamo - the flag of the New Orleans Greys. This flag, which bore the inscription "1st Company of Volunteers from New Orleans" was given to Captain Thomas H.

The Alamo became a rallying cry that helped the Texans defeat the Mexican Army at San Jacinto. Texas' independence laid the ground work for Texas' admission to the Union. Texas' admission to the Union led to a war between the United States and Mexico. At the end of the war, Mexico was required by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to give the United States the area that now comprises California, Arizona, New Mexico as well as the parts of other western states.

Many people want to know what happened to Bowie’s knife, Crockett’s rifle, and other items that belonged to the garrison. These items met the same fate of all objects left on a battlefield. Some were picked up as souvenirs; some were discarded because they were broken; some were placed back into service by the victors. Thus, the possessions of the men of the Alamo disappeared from history.Top See similar questions...

The Alamo is owned by the State of Texas and operated by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

Combat is done through the use of safe foam padded weapons constructed in order that they do not leave marks, bruises, or any other type of injury (other than pride). Weapons are inspected for anything which will make them unsafe. For safety reasons, head, neck, and male groin shots do not count as legal hits. Similarly, hits to a hand holding a weapon, or a foot on the ground do not count as hits. (This is also for safety) In general, any solid hit to a legal target will cause damage to it.

Battle Chess was a computer game of the early '90's where the game pieces where animated and the actual action of taking an opponents game piece was animated on the board. You could watch queens do sorcery and knights behead bishops and rooks transform into monsters as they got ready for attacks. At the time I thought it was quite an entertaining game. The similarity of the Dalek Chess game to that of the orriginal Battle Chess game will be purely conceptual. See similar questions...
