The Ballad of Bob the Bushwacker

Got in a game of Shoot N' Skedaddle...with appropriately poor pictures.  It was a lengthy and crazy game in the newly invented town of Bent River, New Mexico.  A buddy of mine and I did up a gang/posse of six characters; I ended up with Lawmen, and he, Outlaws.


 A bloodbath erupts early in the game...the Judge is dead...the 'Bad Man' is dead..the Drifter and Hired Gun are wounded...

 A Town Person, a Bodyguard and a Prostitute walk outside of a burning bar...
 The Drifter grits his teeth and ignores his gunshot wound...
 An exuberant Town Person joins the Lawmen only to be gunned down a few minutes later while he's rummaging through the 'Bad Man's coat...
 Bob the Bushwacker.  An innocent enough looking fellow.  Bob showed up as a Lawmen reinforcement...but was drawn as a Bushwacker (Outlaw Character).  He galloped into town shooting around..
 Lawmen reinforcements arrive, and blaze away at Bob the Bushwacker, firing 20-30 shots as he speeds through town.  Eventually his horse is shot out from under him and he falls, becoming Shocked.  He survives this and flees two Brothers chasing him on horseback...another 6-10 gunshots missing or failing to wound him...
 Bob the Bushwacker (lower left) flees into a bar...chased by the Brothers.  He survives more gunshots and jumps up onto the roof.  Now he's chased by the Older Brother who engages him in fisticuffs....he flees, surviving two rounds of close combat.  The Younger Brother and a Town Person are likewise chasing him...when he falls off the roof onto the outhouse and then grabs a surprised occupant as a hostage...Bob the Bushwacker manages to escape the whole game having survived 35-40 gunshots, several rounds of combat, falling off a horse and a roof...
 The Outlaw Hired Gun with a sawed off shotgun evens the score by gunning down Lawmen mercilessly, surviving a hail of bullets.
 Just five of the many bodies strewn about...
 Late game madness.
Two Outlaws who survived the whole game in these two buildings.
