So we actually used the building for the first time yesterday morning.
We used the Dracula’s America rules for a bit of a street fight.
We had 3 groups of 4 figures each. The towns people, trying to protect the town. The cow hands just looking for a fight after a few deserved beers, and the outlaws, just looking to let off some steam, after finding the bank was closed for the day.
Here, the cow hands line up against the outlaws, then as soon as the dice start rolling, everyone runs for cover without a shot being fired. Typical wargaming as we don’t all want to die in move one and end up with an early bath.
Now the towns people appear, and once again, pile into cover, wondering just what’s going on ?
The outlaws take cover in the large green house whilst half the cow hands try to sneak up on them.
Carefully does it as the cow hands sneak behind the white store....
The lower part of the town, round the sheriffs office seems quiet, but what’s that green mist in the old graveyard off in the distance ?
But then the green mist has gone again..
The shooting continues, but the outlaws are taking a pounding from the cow hands and the townspeople, even to the stage where one outlaw goes down under the gunfire, only to be laid into by one of the townspeople for a good kicking..
Cowhands turn up everywhere, blasting away at the outlaws, but sometimes pay the price for being too keen.
A cracking shot from the cowhand downs one of the townspeople, narrowly missing a couple of tied up horse.
But hold on, it’s that daft green mist again, and it’s drifted over from the graveyard...what the heck are that lot ? Oh heck here come the undead, just when we were having a good old shot um up. Better join force to keep them at bay.
Then the green smoke disappears to show the sheriffs office is still not manned. Looks like a bad day for the sheriff to be out of town.
Ah, so this is where the undead came from...
All in all a really fun game that was played with a smile on our faces, as it should be.
And because it was a western, these two might have added to making the smiles a little wider.
Many thanks to Has.been for being a great host, and to Vodkafan and Garry for rolling the dice and playing the game in the right spirit.
I hope you all enjoy this little write up.
