Dracula's America Weird West Cowboys vs. boogiemen

[palaeomerus]

Do we discuss this game here, in Wild West, or in Victorian Sci-fi? I put it here due to Malifaux being here.

It's an Osprey Wargame with a line of figures from Northstar that uses cards for initiative like Mad Dogs With Guns(Chicago prohibition gangsters game)

I don't have much intelligent to say about the game because it just arrived but...maybe later?

Premise is that after the civil War Dracula becomes president and now cults and cowboys fear the night but they also try to bushwack it.

"It is 1875, and Count Dracula is President of the United States of America.

In the wake of the Civil War, with the country struggling to regain its balance, Dracula seized power. The Count's thralls assassinated President Lincoln and his entire administration in a single night and, in the ensuing chaos, their master made his move. Dominating the Senate, he declared himself President-for-Life, and now rules the Union with fear and an iron fist. His vampiric progeny, the Coven of the Red Hand, infest every strata of society, and enforce Dracula's will with ruthless efficiency.

Drawn by the shadows gathering across the nation, secretive cults and evil creatures emerge from their lairs to thrive in the darkness of the new regime. Fleeing from the oppression and menace of the East, hordes of pioneers head to the West, hoping for a new life.

Dracula's greed, however, knows no bounds, and his reach is long…

Dracula's America: Shadows of the West is a skirmish game of gothic horror set in an alternate Old West. Secret wars rage across the country – from bustling boom-towns to the most remote wilderness – as cults and secret societies fight for power and survival. Players will throw their support behind one of these factions, and will lead a Posse in fast-paced, cinematic battles for dominance and survival."

Their is a huge amount of threads on the subject(as well as the author himself) in the gothic horror section!

The guys in the Osprey booth sold me on it Gen Con.  Now I have to find minis for it.
