It was a continuation of our 1950s TV Western Campaign game using “Fistful of Lead Reloaded” 25mm figs that I picked up second hand over the last few years sprinkled with some trees, rocks, hills and things. Held at Miniature Market Rock Hill.
Word had gone our that The Connecticut Gang headed by desperado Steve Lowry was hold up at the cabin of Pierre the Fisherman hoping to get a boat to take the Wells Fargo Silver down river and escape. Groups of 1950s TV Western Heroes had filtered in to Whitewash City and were now on their way to recover the silver and capture the gang.

Steve and Pat L had the Connecticut Gang with DJ taking charge of the Native American Allies. Tim L controlled Jim Hardie from Wells Fargo, Andrew B, Marshall Matt Dillion up from Dodge City. Nate R had to look up just who this Palladin guy was on his phone. Jay had the Range Rider’s team as they all headed in.

Pat took his half of the gang and mounted the rocky hill near the cabin drawing a bead on the Dodge City Marshall as Andrew moved forward. Tim slipped up the other flank towards DJ’s Indians and both were met with a warm greeting. Nate and Jay went up the center which seemed to be the path of least resistance (at least for a little while)until they got more into range.
Pat L’s accurate fire and exceptional dice rolls devastated the approaching Dodge City contingent. Steve spent some time unloading the silver until the fight got just a bit too close for comfort and his rifle was needed on the line.

The open ground on the approach to the hide out left the bounty hunters/lawmen exposed as they moved in and subject to unsustainable losses. The Connecticut Gang didn’t come out unscathed as there were many a wound and stunned marker about along with a few losses.
Our only melee as the Wells Fargo Man takes on an Indian with one wound.
Lots of laughs and fun seemed to be had by all with dice rolling into the tress more times than we can count. A call to weigh and measure the dice after the game came up as the outlaws seemed to have more luck than could be imagined. A hiccup by the GM gave one of the Connecticut Gang Traits of Dead Eye and Lousy Shot leading to some fun comments.

Thanks to Andrew playing then helping to run the game for a bit. A Thank You to all the players for taking time to join in and continued appreciation to Game Nite for their for their support.
