Dracula's America.

Finished painting my scarecrows from Crooked dice. I can't wait to see these guys coming out of the corn field at some poor hapless Confed' or cowboy. Not sure if the rules have anything for them but I'm sure I can bend them to fit  

dartfrog, take a look at the 2004 Western/Horror DEAD BIRDS movie for great scarecrows inspiration against a poor hapless bunch of Confederate deserters!

**Cough**Book 3**cough**

Thanks on the film to check. And, book 3! Joy. My friend is already chomping at the bit over the Tongs in the first supplement. And we haven't even got the rules yet, he he.

Finished my basic western 'town'. Now see it NEEDS a sheriffs office and Wells Fargo office for telegrams and letters. Maybe next month when I have some funds .

What is in book 3?

[von Lucky]

Anyone know of a not-Richardson miniature from Deadwood? Bonus if the guy is holding an antler.

[dartfrog]

Something I forgot to ask. Weapon ranges? Pistols, carbines, rifles and bows. Plus the odd bottle of whiskey no doubt.

@Saucy Jack: Right now all I can say about book 3 is that it is set in the ruinous swamps of the Dark Confederacy and features murderous scarecrows, amongst other critters!  But I guess it will all depend on how well the first two books are received...

@Dartfrog: Yep, plenty of weapons and gear in SOTW- whiskey will temporarily make you braver, but a worse shot- there are also telescopic sights, bottles of dubious-looking snake oil and lassos (good for dragging folks off rooftops!), amongst other things. Weapon Ranges are divided into short, medium and long 'increments' (a pistol is 4/8/12, carbines and bows are 6/12/18, and rifles are 8/16/24); and as in many games of this type are slightly 'abstracted'- initially I had intended for guns to be able to fire the length of the board (as you'd expect in real life over the small area we are dealing with in a typical game), but after play-testing this it quickly became apparent that the abstracted method was just better for gameplay!

Once again thanks for replying 

[dartfrog]

Thanks. Gives me an idea for game area and scenarios etc. We have two main game boards. One is 3x4 and the other is 5x9. I think the big one will make for some epic games, plenty of use of horses and wagons by the sounds of it. If the max range is 2' then some fun manauvers between town and mine etc.

Ach book 3 is the one I need! I planned on going 'deep south' for many of my games, as I have plenty of terrain for that from Congo and other such games. Plus I'm plotting a mega southern plantation with large house for the congregation to plot against and gives the exconfed posh guy a base of operations.

Looks like a beautiful book:

Wow, cool! I'm off to make some more bits for my town. Getting excited about this more and more. Like frostgrave cured my fantasy magic cravings, I hope this dose for shooting skirmish horror fun.

Looks like a beautiful book:

Hardcover, couché paper and GREAT artwork, but the design doesn't say anything "Wild West" to me...

Why? No dinosaurs?

Another Osprey's EPIC FAILURE, thanks for the reminder!  

EDIT> My new horse stares at me very weird when I say I'd rather be riding a velociraptor!

So will any of the books cover Canada (the great white North really as it was not really a single country of Canada till a bit later) and/or Mexico? The supernatural aspects of the neighbors can't but have an influence there I assume?
