Plays quick, has a lot of changing strategies, a really enjoyable game that has a bit of the best of everything from a lot of other Columbia games.

Very under-rated wargame and one of Columbia Games’ best. Playable with the version of the rules as originally released. Some minor tweaks in v1.01 transformed an exceptional offering into a perfect one.

Cracking little game. Lots of feel and choices, won equally as Texan and Mexican, though the combined game seems to favour the mexicans as texans never seem to do as well as they did in 1835, and then they’re all over the shop for Santa Anna’s revenge.

The more I play the more I enoy this game. The card mechanic is one of the slicker systems with a 3 card hand, play and draw, system that keeps track of time automatically. And of course Carl is great in his active support of the game.

What is Texas Glory?

Texas Glory is a strategy wargame that brings this exciting period in history to life. Men like Houston, Austin, Crockett, and Bowie play key roles in the Texan struggle to defeat superior Mexican forces with a small but heroic army.
