AH Challenge Alamo siege

Make the Alamo siege last longer. I don't know if this has been done before, but it came to mind.

I think you mean siege there mate.

hmm...maybe have some of the couriers the Mexicans were using get killed or delayed or lost? That might force them to take longer to get organized. Or have Santa Anna take longer to find supplies because he doesn't bother to ask Manuel Menchaca where to find some. Or I guess you could have Santa Anna get hit by a sharpshooter during one of his excursions closer to the Alamo.
 
IIRC, one of SA's generals asked him to wait for some bigger artillery pieces to arrive that were on the way, so that a general assault wasn't necessary (the Alamo could have been battered to pieces by that time, as the defenders were nearly out of powder). I think someone suggested starving out the garrison also, which wouldn't have taken all that much longer either. Neither option would have extended the siege by more than a week or two...
