A Mexican Unit cannot advance up a ladder into the Alamo if an Alamo Defender is directly in front of the ladder. The Mexican Unit must remain on the ladder and melee with the Alamo Defender. Melee (Hand-to-Hand Combat) - discussed in Section VI.
If a ladder bearer becomes a casualty during the siege, then the Mexican Player can roll a DIE to determine if the ladder was lost or recovered by another Mexican Unit. To recover a ladder, the other Mexican Unit must be within 3” of the ladder bearer at the moment the ladder bearer became a casualty.

A Mexican Unit carrying a ladder cannot fire his weapon while carrying a ladder.

Use the same DIE ROLL indicators described in the previous paragraph.
