The table set up in the local game store, a simple 4x4 layout.
As usual when the gunfighting started I ended up forgetting to take anywhere near enough pictures. This 5 vs 5 game was absolutely crazy.
- A Hired Gun and a Yellow Belly spent several turns having a point blank shootout and running around a building trying to kill each other, including the Hired Gun diving through a window and blasting a chunk out of the building with his shotgun...before a civilian joined the fight, and came out blazing from the outhouse, and the 'Bad Man' came and finally ended things.
- The Prospector managed to blow up half of Town Hall but failed to kill a Cowboy - who then challenged him to a Shootout...and the Prospector turned into an amazing gunfighter (Despite having a terrible "Marksmanship" skill...and slew him immediately.
- The Sheriff was alone facing four enemies at the end of the game... (1:4)
- He shot and killed the Pony Express rider. (1:3)
- He drew a Lawman card which forced the civilian to flee for his life (1:2)
- He used a Lawmen card to ambush the 'Bad Man' who was chasing him down on horseback (1:1)
- He was engaged in mainstreet, shooting at the 'Yellow Belly' (who by now had drank a bottle of liquor to become brave...drank some poison in an effort to boost himself...and then hit up the Opium Den...and then put on 'Boiler Plate' armour...)
- The 'Bad Man' drew a revival card...stood up and gunned down the Sheriff, shooting him in the back, like a proper Outlaw.
Amazing. It's always great when the rules support the feel of the game (re: outlaw returning from his shooting to get the sheriff in the back).
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the covered wagon from (and others)...are they 4ground as well? And what did you do to get the aged&distressed wood look with mdf?
Thanks, Dave. The aged wood on the small sheds, etc. is simply black primer with some various grey/greens drybrushed on. Sadly they then don't match any of the normal 4Ground buildings. The wagons are 4Ground as well (the cover is a piece of foam paper I had laying around...doesn't look that great up close).
