They receive only a small number of reinforcements and must hold desperately against the onslaught and superior morale of their enemy, hoping to gain enough time for America's internal politics to disrupt and eventually end the war. The Mexican forces are more numerous at the start of the game, but are poorly led and have lower morale.One player represents the United States of America's land and naval forces, the other has Mexico's land and Naval forces. Scenario durations last from 10 turns (for the smaller one) to 44 turns, each representing a two-weeks period between April 1846 and March 1848. And, of course, a complete Grand Campaign covers the whole war. Another scenario deals with Scott’s famous 1847 campaign, starting with the landing at Vera Cruz till the capture of Mexico city. A small scenario covers the early stages of the war over the disputed territories in southern Texas and, in the West, in California and New Mexico. The Whig party and many American citizens opposed the war, and this is a decisive factor in the game. The war was initiated by US President Polk on the premise that the southern border of Texas should be the Rio Grande River, while Mexico claimed that the border was on the Nueces River. The Halls of Montezuma game contains several scenarios, covering different periods of the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848. As Mexico, hold desperately against the enemy’s onslaught, to gain enough time for America's internal politics to end the war. Play the USA and conquer Mexico City before Whig opposition in Congress forces a negotiated peace.
