The Fort in San Antonio was the Alamo. The Mexicans captured it from the Texans not the Texans from the Mexicans. In one of the stupidest tactical military moves ever made, the Mexican leader, General Santa Anna, decided to use siege tactics. As the Mexicans built their siege works, the Texans used long range rifles to kill Mexican Solders. The short range Mexican Muskets, could not answer back. By the time the siege reached the fort, a large part of the Mexican army had been killed. Santa Anna would have lost far fewer solders with an all out assault.
