This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

Very nice. A map with some Spanish style vegetation and buildings on would be good to have for use with the Nap mod for Spain or Italy.
HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.

Great to see a mod for the Texas Revolution. I am a reenactor. Here are some pics from the Goliad Massacre.

If you modded the battle of San Jacinto, you would have to start all the Mexican Soldier in the Lie down position. :)

If you have a oob for Goliad, you create the Alabama Red Rovers. See pictures above for their uniforms which were basically red frocks.

Thanks benmilam.....an apt handle. :)

Afraid the red rovers will have to do without their famous garb. Just don't have the sprites.

On the OOBs generally, such as Bexar, I may have to do some balancing to make things playable. Nevertheless I hope they'll be enjoyable.

Nice screens btw. B)

Here is a link to Fannins command:

Eighteen Minutes by Stephen Moore is to me the best book if you want to know about the San Jacinto campaign and Houston's army. I am guessing the mod is not finished?

Also, I wrote a book on an alternate ending for the Texas Revolution. Mix reviews did not quit my day job. Anyway, Santa Anna is killed at San Jacinto and a wounded Sam Houston has to fight the remaining Combined Mexican Armies. The cover looks like a history book, but it is a fictional story on what I think could of happened. Just in case you are looking for other scenarios besides the real ones.
