The rules with no name: Any good

[Commander Vyper]

Tempted as they give a free postage and package status to the order and any other bits you order. Looks very nice and shiney but anyone played the rules?

I own teh TRWNN, but haven't played them.  To me, LotOW looks to be more fun. This set I have played and like quite a bit.

Do you have a link? (Assuming these are the wild west version of the LOTR rules?)

Legends of the Old West.   It's good fun.

Seconded
Legends of the Old West and its supplements are really great fun,haven't tried The Rules With No Name so can't compare the two but when LOTOW was so good didnt bother trying the other

I have the rules with no name, they are very good. I have the original free version which I'm happy to send to you if you pm me your email.

Its a matter of taste...

If you like GW games go for LotoW. Its the same old soup only in a different soup bowl.

The  Rules with no name  are more innovative.

But if you don t like initiative by cards they are not yours.

TRWNN are a blast! Easy to learn, fast play, and a very satisfying feel for cinematic cowboys games. My kid brother and I were playing one Christmas, and my mom, of all people, wanted to join in! 5 mins of insrtruction, and she was up and running.

That's what drew me to them in the first place, (£5 off and on postage charge which slices £8 off the deal, enough for another pack!

Thanks all, emails there under my avatar so feel free to send me the pdf.

Its many years since i played TRWNN, but they are well-worth a go.

Would recommend TRwNN if you like a game that can be picked up in 5 minutes, has random activation and you have a bucketload of dice (at optimum range a legend who has aimed with a repeating rifle gets 12 D6 I think)

I recently got a copy from Amazon.  It was under 38 bucks including shipping.

Gorgeous book.  I think it was worth it and look forward to playing.

I have both LoTOW and TRWNN and enjoy both of them. We have used “Legends” for playing a long running campaign game and TRWNN for one off games.

I have also got a couple of other rule sets, although I haven’t had a chance to game with them yet. The one set was free in the Aug/Sept 2007 edition of “Battlegames” which is based on card activated initiative similar to TRWNN and the other is a set from Over the Wire Games which only uses playing cards for all actions.

As an aside, Ian Barlow wrote a load of articles in WI some years ago about skirmishing the Wild West Movies – some useful scenario ideas?
