A Blood-Red Banner cover
With the release A Blood Red Banner, I thought it might be interesting to post my initial game map prototype.  It will be clear why Tim Allen is one of the most amazing artists in the business when you compare the finish product to my prototype
A completed game. Both Cos and Romera were able to enter the Alamo. With five cards left in the draw deck, this was a Historic Result.

Overview

Battlesson #9

A Blood-Red Banner is a solitaire States of Siege game where you, as the Texian heroes, must survive the attacks from the relentless Mexican army and save the walls of the Alamo. This historically-based game is easy and fast-paced, providing the air of challenge that occurred between both armies all those years ago.

It is March 1836, when the Texians are fighting for their new republic. As the besieged Texian defenders, you must fight off the five converging Mexican attack columns that are making their way towards the Alamo. Direct brave counterattacks, pushing back the troops of the Mexican dictator, General Santa Anna, before they storm the walls and cut into the heart of the Alamo.

Do you have what it takes to withstand the siege? Defend the Alamo and wave your flag of victory in A Blood-Red Banner!

Complexity: 2 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 9 on a 9 scale Scale: Each unit represents a Texian Hero or a Mexican army unit.
