The Texas Revolution: Siege of Béxar
37,206
Published 2024-02-09
With the Mexican cavalry detachment sent retreating after the Battle of Gonzales, the Texians prepared for the phase of the war, removing the Centralist troops from Texas. However, just as the dragoons ride out of the vicinity of the rebellious town. General Martin Perfecto de Cos arrives on the Texas coast with a force of 500 men to suppress the rebellion that has risen up in the state. With the arrival of Cos, more men rise to fight back against what they see as a Centralist takeover of the state. San Antonio de Bexar, the regional capital, becomes a vacuum that pulls in the various armed groups in the state. That will result in a month-long siege and a chaotic street-to-street battle for supremacy on the Mexican Frontier. The result of this fight will prompt a major reaction from the very President of the Mexican Republic, who decides it is finally time for him to march in and settle things for good.

Man, these have been fantastic, thank you! So excited about this series!

Heck yeah!!! Warhawk is back! I love your style. You taught me a lot about the early Civil War that I had no clue about. You really put it into a perspective that showed just how intense and high stakes it was for all sides. A tenuous power balance and brutal slug match; what a terrible thing for our countrymen to go through. If you ever delve back into the mid-late eras, I'm there!
