You can never have too many Chinese! Now if they raise pigs  ;)

I only just got your reference to pigs. I watched the first episode of Deadwood (I bought the boxed set) last night. The Chinese Laundry will definitely have to have a pig pen out back!

Wow! Looks great!

There's a new Sheriff in town. Reuben J. Cogburn has agreed to take on the job in Hog Thief Bend. Known to his friends as 'Rooster', he is a veteran of the American Civil War and served under Confederate guerrilla leader William Quantrill, where he lost his eye. Cogburn previously lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas in the back of a Chinese dry-goods store, along with the proprietor, his friend and gambling buddy Chen Lee, and an orange tabby cat named after Confederate General Sterling Price. The rumour round town is that he has never had a 'dry day' in his life! Luckily for Rooster, the Sheriff's Office is right opposite the Broken Drum Saloon, so it's not too far when he gets a hankerin' for a shot of redeye. Let's hope he can bring some law and order into this den of iniquity.











The whole town, so far.............

I need to get some of those 4Ground buildings. Pre-painted, just build and instant use is a great invention.

Looking great!  At the moment my town consists of an unbuilt 4grounds wagon :).  I was worried about the national mail strike wrecking my western acquisitions but my stuff from Brigade Games arrived so it was under the wire or won't happen at all;  Hoping for the latter.

Argonor, exactly why I went for 4Ground pre-painted. They arrive in the post and usually they are on the table finished within two days. I usually glue the main walls and roof and leave overnight, finishing the windows, doors etc. the next day. You also have fully detailed and playable interiors. The jail cell windows in the Sheriff's office can be pulled out during a game.

Great to see the town developing. I have the same two outlaws attached at the hip. I couldn't think how to use it. I decided to use them in Fistful of Lead where the figure activates as one and they both get to fire but they get penalised in hand to hand and get a movement penalty.

Really good stuff! However, I want to remind you that I have seen pictures of your
Kobblestone building horde and expect to see an awesome Middle Eastern town as well  ;D ;D
