3:10 to Yuma, Pulp Alley Old West

Dave, Mila, etal,

           Okay Dave, you put the idea into my head.  I set up a 3 x 3 table with the Hotel in one corner and the train station in the diagonal opposite corner.  I assume that one team is Dan Evans and his son.  What about Ben Wade?  Would you count him as part of the team?  I decided that to give them any chance at all,  Ben's gang led by Charlie Prince would be 4 figures, including the Apache marksman.
           You suggested using the "Dangerously Delivery" scenario as a starting point.  So I guess that would make Ben Wade the major plot point.  Minor points could be the stockyard with cattle to stampede (as in the film),  the train station and the train itself.  I still need one more.

                                                                                                                                               Nick

I like your idea for this scenario, and there's an "escort" scenario in Vice Alley that might be worth using. It's called "The Hit".

Basically, the major plot points moves across the table towards the exit point. The minor plot points represent townsfolk that may help/hinder the leagues.

One side is trying to make sure he reaches the exit point safely. When they complete a minor plot point, the major plot point can move an extra 6". The other side is trying to stop them. And when they complete a minor plot point, the major plot point loses 6" of movement.

It's a wild scenario and lots of fun!

Dave, I like that idea.  It sort of fits the movie action.

This sounds very interesting.
