Yesterday a group of us had Old West themed 'Fistful of Games' mini-BLAM in Surbiton using the excellent Fistful of Lead Reloaded rules. Much fun was had by all.
Here's a few pictures of games in progress on the three different tables we set up for the event.

More pics . . .

So those are all the pictures I have, Malamute's going to put some words and commentary in his post next! :D

Some great looking games there, and I’m glad you enjoyed the rules.
I’ve bought the rules, but not played them yet.

Few more pics . . .

My favourite pic:

A good day was had by all.
Fistful of lead is an excellent set of rules. Quick to learn, easy to play and fast flowing, full of furious gun play. The card activation mechanic is excellent, very clever in its design but offering lots of tactical options and decisions for the player. A highly recommended set of rules.
We’re looking forward to trying the Horse and Musket set next for some F&IW fun and smuggling games in Dorset.

Absolutely cracking looking games.

Old Tom tries to make a run for it through the town of Beaverlick Falls just prior to being shot in the back, a common theme of the day. Excellent games and great photos.

Shot in the back you say?
My favourite image but least favourite moment: my ‘Raging’ Raol had spent 3 turns dragging the treasure as he crawled 2” at a time to the board exit and the win. With only 4” to go, Tim’s Colonel catches up and shoots Raoul in the back. Darn it!

You do realise Harvey, this lot’s new FFOL obsession is all your fault? lol

Well I’ll try to make that one... ;)

Absolutely superb, gents!! Looks such great fun! Makes me even more keen to get some games in, but I do need to paint some models first!! :D
-
Great terrain, wonderful figures and some very dodgy characters pushing them around. :D What more could you ask for.
-
What a wonderful day all round.
Thanks, chaps!
:D
Oh, and we do not condone shooting anyone in the back (unless it is necessary, of course...).
We leave that kind of behaviour to the likes of Blood and Tarquin......
-
Excellent terrain and models. Very inspirational! Thanks for taking the time to post.

Not to forget his mean attitude towards barrels, either.
Barrels don't like it when Tarquin 'comes a callin'....'
;) :D

Trust you to remember that :D

I always find it gratifying when someone describes Fistful of Lead games as "fun" first. Even better when you can get great stories out of a game.
We have an Apache named Yellow Knife. If the player controlling him remembers to say. "Yellow Knife cannot be killed by White Man's bullets" before anyone shoots at him, they always seem to miss. In 20 years the guy hasn't died unless the player forgets to say "Yellow Knife cannot be killed by White Man's bullets". Or a Mexican shoots him. Or he gets stabbed. Or blown up.
You can thank the jerk 25 years ago at the convention who pissed me off enough to write Fistful of Lead.
SciFi version on it's way.

Looking forward to it - any date in mind?

Sorry for the thread stealing. To answer your question: as fast as I can type and playtest. Having one this Thursday. This will probably be a Kickstarter to help pay for the upfront costs of the rulebook, cards, etc. Probably no miniatures this time. There's plenty of SF minis out there.

Fantastic table and AAR, CONGRATULATIONS gentlemen! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
My game group used to have an Apache figure named "Chief White Feather" that in game terms had a really big save if he said something like "White men bullets and blades can't kill Chief White Feather!" as a curse against the shooter before being shot... He endured more than a decade of Victorian adventures... before being beheaded by a deaf Vampiress with a single strike of her long talons... OUCH!!! lol

No problem, if you need some additional play testing done I know a bunch of LAFers who'd be only to happy to help out ;) :D

Sure. PM your email and I’ll send you a playtest version when it’s close.

I can vouch for the fact that they'll certainly push the game to its limits!
