Hidden amongst Bob's pictures is one of a shotgun template, hovering over a group of figures. The shotgun is being fired by James Jones one of the kid heroes of the Jessie Jones Gang, my posse for the day.
Underneath the template are five figures, two little injuns from Adrian's posse and three lawmen from Andy's. Cries of foul play were uttered on the day - "but you're allied with me" cries Andy - "you can't fire into a melee" cries Ade. Shame boys. Oh yes I can, I'm an outlaw and none of my guys are in the melee! I call it my revenge on the Priest move (for those of you who remember Andy's shameful attack on me a few years back).
Unfortunately my shotgun blast although hitting the mass target, failed to wound. But at least it sent Andy and Ade's boys hitting the dirt. They never fully recovered. It was the start of the downfall for Adrian who was heading for the hills a few turns later. And Andy - well his property empire found itself in new hands. Smug - who me , you betcha!
It was a great game and I think the first one I have won at our LOGW weekends. The rules do work well, they are fast and pretty clear cut even though our interpretation of a six inch move does vary and some peoples idea of line of sight doesn't seem to include trains, buildings or anything else that might be in the way.
Thanks Colin again. The Milky Bars are on me!
