Santa Anna Attacks Fort Houston. A picture looking down the table from Fort Houston. In the distance can be seen the river Rio which has a small bridge across it leading into the small town. It took several turns for the Mexicans to find a ford which the cavalry could utilize. The Mexican army approaches the bridge over the Rio. An Amercan horse battery deploys across the road within effective range of the Bridge. After a bitter fight the church yard finally falls to the Mexic.

I painted the second battalion of this regiment five years ago in April 2012 and now I have finished the first battalion and reduced the number of figures slightly. See my previous post in April for the use of violet as an Austrian facing colour. Most of the Austrian army is finished so this is just mopping up bits and pieces.

Some photos of the revamping of the tiles. Sunday, March 8, 2009. Seven Year War Star Fort. I sprayed it with Army Painter bone and gave it a hit with the strong wash to give a sand stone finish. Thursday, March 5, 2009. These are some old redoubts made by a good friend, Brett Miller, some 20 years.
