A Fistful of Scalp!!!
« Reply #46 on: August 14, 2014, 11:54:09 AM »
The Dynamic Dunderheads gathered with cards, dice and measuring sticks yesterday, just as dawn was breaking at the Circle B ranch 15 mile east of Dead Man's Gulch...
The Great Lame Beaver and his band of Cheyenne Dog Soldiers were out for blood and scalps. From a boulder overlooking the Circle B the Indian Chief signalled his Braves into action. Unfortunately for the Redskins, Pedro the ranch's faithful old Mexican retainer, bladder played him false on this chill morning. On his lonely hike to the dunny he spotted a feathered headdress among the rocks and let fly with his old Colt's Dragoon. The thunderous report set the palefaces to stumbling out of their bunks and the Redskins to a whoopin' an a hollerin' charge. Three ranch hands took arrows as they stumbled from the bunkhouse, J. Henry, the Circle B's owner, rallied the rest and a spirited defence broke the Indians charge after a hard fight. Sadly, not before two Braves had broken in through a back door of the big house, wounded Mrs. J. Henry,  then killed and scalped her two housemaids.
As the surviving raiders skulked away into the rocks a blast from a Cavalry trumpet heralded the arrival of Lootenant Hampton Gayblade's Powder River patrol. Right past The Great Lame Beaver's command boulder they thundered, four shots from the Chief's Henry repeater emptied every saddle! As the dust settled it became apparent that the Chief was really good at shooting horses but a tad crap at drilling Bluebelly's... a return volley from their Carbines knockin' The Great Lame Beaver from his perch and straight into the Happy Hunting Grounds.
The fight was over, Gayblade took breakfast with J. Henry, as the rancher's underlings tended the wounded and buried the dead. The Redskins were left where they'd fallen, as J. Henry observed...
'crows gotta eat too!'

Links? Order info? This is all completely new to me! I'm looking for a set of rules to play Dark Future pedestrian battle with, and it looks like it might be just right!

Tomorrow's game has me playing the rattlesnakes and grizzly bear!  :o
There's going to be a silver mine with a mad prospector who one bunch have to rob, the second bunch have turned up with one simple aim in mind... it's personal, kill all the first bunch!
I'm about to set up Crazy Pete's Silver Mine high in the hills above Dead Man's Gulch, it's wild and dangerous high country. As the lowlife's go about there dastardlies they'll run the risk of stepping on a rattlesnake or three lurking in the shadows of deep cover. The first gunshot will also trigger a random attack by a bad tempered Grizzly.
We play our FofL with 'big boys toys' in 54mm, the Grizzly is a Britains model and the diamond backs are Playmobil toys that look suitably daft in their cartoon repaint... wanted a couple of Playmobil scorpions but they've been delayed due to the Bank Holiday!  :'(

LeadAsbestos, the Fistful of Lead: RELOADED KS should be going very, very soon. Waiting on some sculpting/printing get done. Fistful of Lead:Wasteland Warriors, FfoL: Horse and Musket, and finally FfoL: Swashbuckling Adventure are all in the pipeline.
Fistful of Lead has both a Yahoo Group and a FB page:https://www.facebook.com/FistfulofLead

The Man With No Brayn done killed himself a Grizzly Bear!
The 'orney Grizz made a beeline for TMWNB, who did that twizzly thing with his ceegar from one side of his mouth t'other, drew his Colts and let fly but having no brayn had forgot to load 'em. Grizz got up close and personal, TMWNB drew his Bowie knife and they got to it... when the dust settled TMWNB had nary a scratch and the bear was a goner!
One of the rattlers bit Tuco and died from getting poisoned!!!

We had another game today that had eight cowboys and two wimmin' under siege in a half burnt out stagecoach station. As dawn broke they had to make a dash for it on foot for the fort. The Indians were waiting in the brush and gullies and quickly killed then scalped half the cowboys. Two other Braves in the rocks with Henry rifles wounded nearly every other paleface. Then the pendulum took a surprise swing as the remaining cowboys risked all in a rush on the Indians. When the dust settled two cowboys and a soiled dove were left standing. Of the Redskins there were none... and history had been made!
