'A Fistful of Lead!'

[freewargamesrules]

Played a game last night with 5 figures each. Hand to Hand is very brutal  and my Mexicans killed all who came before them.

Great value rules and always a blast.

We're having a game this weekend. The Marshal and his underlings are holding the army payroll in their jail till a Troop of Cavalry arrive to collect it. In the manure hole, that's Dead man's Gulch nobody can keep a secret, So Marshal Twirp and his Deputies are at Defcon 1... they'll need to be 'cos the Cavalry Troop's the Wild Bunch in disguise, I'm guessing Twirp and his men will find this out when they're on the recieving end of the Bunch's first volley!

I've heard much good about these rules, so might look into them myself at some point.

Weekend? It's Tuesday now so where are the pictures and AAR???

My piccys aren't good enough to do all that buggering about for!

More important than pictures, did you have fun?
And yes, I agree the process of posting pictures is a pain.

My Dear Baron, an absolutely spiffing time was had by all!
The Wild Bunch foxed me (umpire/drunken Mexican mover) by blagging, not blasting, their way into Twirp's jail signing for the gold then marching away right down main street with it. A lad sprinted from the telegraph office to inform the Marshal that the Paradise River patrol would be late in pickin' up the payroll... Twirp scratched his head, twice, then asked an underling who the soldiers taking the payroll might be?
When the nickel finally dropped all hell let loose in Dead Man's Gulch, Deputies and Bandits swapping hot lead. Marshal Twirp's certainly not long on brayns, but he's long on true grit when the lead starts flying, personally sending three of the Bunch to boot hill and capturing a wounded Pike Bishop plus one of his henchmen! The Paradise River patrol duly turned up in time for the victory parade and a fine rendering of 'Gather At The River' by the jubilant townsfolk.
Next week the Gulcher's plan to hang Pike and his cohort high, but the remains of his Bunch might have other ideas... and there's a'gunna be a reckoning for Twirp and his Deputies.

One of the new scenarios involves saving a gang member from the hangman's noose.

When is it coming?

Have played the rules a couple of times at my local club.
They are easy to pick up and with a simple scenario make a great game.

Cpt Jake,
The new update rules are almost 50 pages. Reformatted with more picks, 16 new scenarios so quite a bit extra than before. The price will still be low (the original being a mere $6) and available in pdf and printed. I'm also working on a custom card deck so you don't have to remember all those pesky special card abilities.

I'll keep my eyes peeled and will most likely pick up a copy of the new rules, haven't played the current ones but have heard much good about it  .

[BaronVonJ]

Finishing last couple rewrites and working out cost for printed book. A few scenarios had to be playtested again. Soon. Very soon.
