Ok Michi... its Feb 10th, where are those pictures?!  ;D

Matt, I´m very sorry. I have no pictures of the planned battle on it due to cancellation by two opponents. However the Table Terror Team played a game anyway:

What was planned was a monumental and epic Wild West shootout, that should have been played with the Brink of Battles rules as a test for that ruleset. The appointment had been made fix for weeks and Michi even managed to finish a structured gaming board in record time...

Here they are at last:

Table Terror Team and Franconian Tabletop Warlords finally met to play a test game with "Brink of Battle" rules. I set up an old west town for the skirmish. Two posses of eight gunmen and 500 points were prepared. Values of retainers were different, but leaders were equal. We concluded that we had great expectations due to the award winning credits of that game, but were a bit disappointed. However we had fun gaming at all! 

View from the north. The outlaws are placed in the foreground on main street Rattlesnake.


View from the south along the main street. The sheriff and his deputies posse in front of the bank.


It´s friday evening, therefore the railway lays dormant for the weekend.
Employees and citizens are all in the saloons, nobody else is seen in the streets.


The sheriff got news that some outlaws just entered town at the other end of tha main street.
He assembled his posse and got ready for a fight.


The outlaw leader is on the right in front of the barn door.
He will enter the barn with a fellow who will climb up to first floor.
Two riflemen will enter the engine shed on the left.
The four ladies will work their way along main street.


The riflemen are covered by the engine shed and gain ground rather rapidly.


The ladies move forward outside the shed.


The barn is empty and to be entered by the outlaws...


Shooting at the deputies from above was worth the effort.


Standing on high ground will always pay.


The boss has moved through the barn and takes cover behind a bakery.
His female companions assemble behind some barrels.


Meanwhile the first rifleman has made it through the engine shed into the open, but the deputies are already there!


The engines provie good hard cover for the deputies.


They even take position in the church.


A daredevil deputy moves along the railroad parallel to the main street and will be shot by the rifleman in the barn.


At this point we decided to end the game without a particular winner.
Outlaws managed to shock three deputies and kill one.
The sheriffs´ people shocked one outlaw.

Wonderful photos! Great job getting clear shots in such tight spaces!

Great table too!

Man oh man that is a sharp looking layout! Great AAR too.

Michi, You are a master of many trades, and furthermost the unparalleled master of railway on the tabletop, as You clearly show us again here! Plus combined with juicy poor girls who need a bit of textile sponsoring, and whatnot else - amazing game!

but You are also insane - a turntable in a western town?  ;)

Go-Lee, that is a fancay lay-out.

Right purty Michi, the end of the wild west is dawning in your little part of the world. Civilisation has come in a roundabout way. ;)
