After the fall of Bexar, the Texians are unsure of what they should do next, carry the war south to Mexico or hold the line in Texas. The government and military leaders of the Texas Revolution are divided on what to do next, so Governor Smith orders Houston, the Commander in Chief, to make a demonstration against the river town of Matamoros. As various units proceed south to the rendevous point, they take everybody and everything that can be spared. However, as the expedition proceeds south, infighting occurs amongst the officer corps, the council, and the leaders, killing the expedition before it can fully take off. Just as the Texians are sent into a state of confusion, Santa Anna, who has been preparing an army to march north into Texas, arrives in Bexar and pushes the skeleton garrison of Bexar back to the confines of the dilapidated compound called the Alamo. Realizing how outnumbered he is, William B Travis, the commander of the Alamo, writes a call for help to save him and his men from the much larger Mexican force in Bexar. For the moment, this tiny garrison has to hold out against a much larger foe. In the meantime, various units rally to march to their comrade's aid while the Texian government in Washington, TX declares independence from Mexico and forms the Republic of Texas. Will Travis' comrades be able to arrive to assist him in his time of need, watch the video to find out!
