Title: IHMN in America?
Post by: NickNascati on 22 September 2013, 02:27:12 PM

So, I haven't seen the rules yet, but my question comes from what I've been reading.  I have a large collection of Cowboys, I wonder if I couldn't do IHMN set in the US?  My inspiration is the old TV program "The Wild, Wild West".  Since the rules give guidance for creating companies, it would seem a possibility.

Yep, I've done it, works fine. The HV&F book due out soon has quite a few US company lists and locations in it.

That's brilliant. Watched WWW every day after school for ages... Following gleefully.


Also, James Garner made a great cowboy.

That's essentially what I've done. My company consists of some ex-soldiers, ex-Pinkertons, cowboys, and other unsavory characters, plus the typical crazy scientist type. Their job is to go around the world, in an airship of course, solving problems the U.S. government wants a bit of deniability in handling, plus the odd, paid, private job.

Wild, Wild West, Briscoe County and the like are all good starting points.

Ah thanks for the positive responses.  I've been combing the Reaper catalog for suitable figures that will hopefully match my Black Scorpion models.

Hi Nick,

Do whatever you please, and that is fun to play with. We positively encourage you to create your own companies, and there is an article on the blog to show you how.

As a heads up; Heroes, Villains and Fiends takes us out of the backstreets of old London Town and into Europe, Africa and the New World. So here are the lists for North America that will be in it:
The Apache (and allied tribes)
The Industrialists (Railroad Barons and the like)
The League of Southern Gentlemen
The Royal Northwest Mounted Police (Mounties)
The Red Sect (Louisiana Voodoo Cultists)
The High Sierra Gang, consisting of:
- The Virginians (classic post civil war outlaws)
- Las Diablos (Commancheros)
- The Golden Wheel (Gambling Saloon)
- The Pale Riders (remember A Town Called Hell?)
Mexican Federales Enforcement Co.
Mexican Rebels (led by El Toro!)
The Texas Rangers
The Secret Service

So that's thirteen lists for you to mad with in the Wild, Wild West lol

Craig,
         Sounds great.  Now I just need to find appropriate sized Police to use with my Black Scorpion figures.

Craig, it's great you're doing the Mounties. They were on my to-do list to create; now I can move on to other projects.

Already have Heroes, Villains, and Fiends on order: is it November yet?

Nick, I have a Company list for the Pinkertons posted online, which you might be able to fill from your existing miniatures collection.
