Hi, this weekend took place at Clichy near Paris, our 7th tournament since 2005.
Synopsis:
Eight legends of the wild west came at Clichy Gulch for a shooting competition organized by the mayor of the city, the prize is 3000$ for the winner.
But every posse is here for an other reason:
* Jesse James and John Ringo came to steal the prize before the end of the competition
* Pat Garrett and his guys to arrest John Ringo
* Wyatt Earp and his lawmen to protect the mayor
* Crazy Horse and his braves to show white people the indian art of war by counting coups
* Leander McNelly and his texas ranger want to kill Crazy Horse
* James Bridger and his mountain men to protect Crazy Horse to avoid a new indian war.
* Wild Bill Hickock to make a contract sign to the mayor who will authorize the passage of the railroad to Clichy Gulch
the scoring was:
* 1 point for a victory
* 10 points if the secret objective is reached
The 3 firsts games were standard scenarios, the last was a special one, each player play only their legends togheter on a same table for trying to reach their objective.

Thanks very much.
For my own experience I read Lucky Luke when I was a child. I was alway fan of the ACW period (due to an other comic: Les Tuniques Bleus),
but I really fall in Old West period by beginning playing Legends Of The Old West in the same time I watch Deadwood on TV.
Now it's one of my favourite game and period.
Lovely stuff. Did Anyone survive? :)
Legends in lotow are very strong (like all charcaters in other GW's games), so no one of them die (only henchmen and heros) but Leander McKelly became out of play once or twice (I don't remenber) during the tournament... great suspens :)
Otherwise, for those who wants to visit Paris and play lotow with us, the two next tournaments will take place in november (one day at Ivry) and march (two days at Levallois).
