Right,  I hope it's OK to bring this back but I've slowly (yes, very slowly)  working away at this. We had a game on Friday night with my partially painted buildings and now complete Old West terrain tiles. I've added a few more figures to my painted gangs and posses including a few Pinkertons. The Pinkertons actually won the four way Fistful of Lead game. They interrupted a shoot out between the Grimes Boys and the O'Driscolls that the sheriff was attempting to stop. Unfortunately for the sheriff and his deputies, trying to stop both gangs at the same time resulted in all his boys getting put out of action first. The Pinkertons took out the remaining outlaws and hauled Billy Grimes off to answer to the railroad company.

I was rather disappointed not to have the buildings painted but all the figures were!

That's about half the buildings I have. I'm officially done now I just have to paint everything.  I've got 5 gangs painted up.

One thing that did come up again was how deadly and random close combat is. A lot of the guys didn't like it being so,  well, terminal. I know this has been raised a number of times before and it's been answered. We were thinking about the wound rolls being changed to half the difference between the rolls rounding down to a minimum of one.

A most impressive array.
That should keep you busy for some time, mate.

Those Pinko's look rather swish too.
