In the thirty years since the great Tex-Mex Showdown, or the 2nd war for Texas independence as many call it, Texas has been treated like scum. First a former ally, Australia, turned against us (They are chill now though), then we saw Kurdistan Abandoned us. But worst of all, Mexico. The treaty was very lenient first time round’ but we went ahead and saved them from Javla, only to be repaid with a blatant attack to our puppet, almost resulting in war. But still, Texas kept quiet. Then they attacked our rightful claimed land in the Caribbean, and today, we snap. Mary Jane Houston, of the Populist Party won the 2048 election in a landslide, campaigning to help the people within through the re-instation of the former High Order of Texas, as well as make Texas relevant and powerful on the world stage, getting power over enemies. At approximately 3:16 am on an early Wednesday morning, the pieces enter battle. The rook slides sideways across the New Mexican border, with tanks and militia to roll over the mountains. The Queen, Our full army parades south down the coast wiping out resistance with relentless artillery. Though not fast, mighty. Our King comes into play, diplomacy with Javla, so we can use them to our advantage. But they have a plan. A mere pawn, attacking our homeland. So we surround them, Pin them with our rook, and siege them. Our Sly bishop, the Atlantic fleet from Galveston slides down through the ocean and makes a midnight landing on the Yucatan, sweeping through land. And Finally, our Knight, Jumps to Cuba, excites the locals, and sparks revolution. You are pinned, in check. Mexico City sieged, so, your move, good sir >:)
