After reading about the Ruthless rules here on LAF I gave them a try.
I really liked them. They are perfect for small scale engagements.
My son and I each had 3 figures and played a game where his bandits were holed up in a cabin and my lawmen were coming to take them in, dead or alive.
Deputy Tubbs is taking cover while moving towards the cabin:
In the end the one remaining bandit skedaddled, but he was unharmed while the 2 remaining lawmen were both severely wounded.
Mr. Brown skedaddles with the loot:
I really like these rules and will definately use them again.
