The Dude spots his prey … as Miguel makes a dash for the stairs …

Ducking back, the Dude's just not quick enough. Miguel, leaps the stairs and shoots through the doorway.
End of Scene One
With the peace shattered, vengeance is the order of the day. There’s going to be a reckoning …

The Bandidos are drinking in the “Three Trails Saloon” unaware of the massing Pinkerton posse waiting outside.

Luckily, Pedro just happens to look out of the window as the Pinkertons start closing in on the Saloon.

Things look bad for the Banditos …
End of Scene Two
The petty squabble has escalated. The Pinkertons, find themselves ambushed as they were about to leave town. The road out of town is blocked by a waggon and a dead team of horses. The shooting starts and the Pinkertons dive for cover behind the waggon.

Taking cover …

And some of the gang try and outflank the posse.

But the Pinkertons hold fast, and are victorious…

A really enjoyable afternoon of Wild West action, with plenty of twist and turns and lots of card play.

Nice!!!
Question...what's the empty shell casing for? A marker of some type? I'm in the need for some markers and just might use some 22LR shells (1st I have to go to the range!).

Thank you.

Yeap, we use them as out of ammo markers (in most of our western games) - this one looks like Doc has fired one of the shotgun barrels, especially as Miguel has an underfire marker against him.
