As a follow-up to my non-popping comment above...I was wandering around mopping up a few side quests and was trying to get the Buckin' Awesome achievement. It hadn't taken, despite breaking all three horses several times.

Anyway, I remembered that way back at the start I'd passed over the 'Wild Horses, Tamed Passions' mission for some reason and - laterally - assumed that must have something to do with it. Bear with me, there's a point to this.

So I went back and completed that, thinking that breaking the Kentucky Saddler (in-mission as it were) would pop something. And it did: Land of Opportunity! I nearly fell off my horse. I guess some glitch-y algorithm-y this-then-this sequence just clicked into place.

Whatever, I'm very happy.

Story related and cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock as soon as you finish the mission "The Assault on Fort Mercer". For a detailed walkthrough see below:

As soon as the mission starts you will have to ride to Fort Mercer. Once you arrive you will trigger a cutscene, after it ends you will have to take out all of Williamson's men with a Gatling Gun. Once you have killed all of the enemies inside the fort, another cutscene will trigger and more reinforcements will arrive. You will have to use the Gatling Gun again to kill the rest of the gang to complete the quest.
