Tabletop CP: Dead Man's Hand Battle Report- Rugged Old Sonora

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Fantastic opening music & animation, and nice to see a western game someplace green

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Excellent vid, thanks! Having watched both your playthroughs I've bought the starter set (which is excellent value) - looking forward to getting this set up, thanks for the inspiration!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Very good game, thanks. Hope to see more.

[@e-4airman124]

I was an E-3 Quartermaster in the Navy. Got an early discharge to go back to college in '72.

What a great game, all the best, Garry

[@williamrthompsonjr556]

By the way, the board looked great!

[@get_the_lead_out]

Nice job guys. I especially loved it when the Marshall ran over to shoot Padea and found out he had forgotten to load his revolver!!😂🤪. I wanted to ask where you got your buildings, stagecoach and horse tie-up bars. I ordered a copy of DMH after watching your first video - this looks like a really fun game! The Brits had the game packed and flown over the pond to Illinois in two days. Now, one week later, our nightly efficient postal service sent the package for Illinois to Kentucky (I’m in Tennessee), delivered it to the wrong address, then shipped it back to Illinois, where it continues to sit. Tell me this is t a government operation . . .😬

[@tabletopcp]

Sounds like Pony Express would of been faster 😄. Buildings and stage coach are from Sarrisa, I made the hitching posts from hobby wood and bases

I know it's corny, but I was going to join the US Marshal's just so I could be Marshal Marshall

Peace is restored to the sleepy town of Sonora. Well done! Can you add some Indians for flavor?

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

Awesome production! May I ask where did you get those minis from? Years ago I used to run a Deadlands RPG and could never find any decent western figurines to use in it. Had to settle with those cruddy blister pack cowboys and indians plastic minis you used to be able to get from the supermarket.

[@tabletopcp]

These minis are a mix between Knuckleduster and Great Escape Games. If you are in the US I would go with Knuckleduster, in the UK go for great escape.

Now it can be revealed that "Randy" is Sheriff Bill Thompson's nickname. It was given to him because he loves to visit bordellos! He would like to you mail him his check for $3,000. Do you need his mailing address? Anyhow, I loved the game, and who doesn't want to be the hero? Thanks, Travis and Andre, for playing the game and making the video.

[@tabletopcp]

I knew it! Oh and Thompson’s money seems to have been on that last stage coach that got robbed over in robbers gulch 😄

[@BeardClipper]

Ahh Andre how could you get Roo "Beard" McCox killed?! :D Great game, fun watch :) cheeeeers!

[@deadwolf2978]

i find this card system very confusing. how do you determine order of activation? why theres so many modifiers to what you roll?

[@tabletopcp]

They just go in numerical order including face cards like a regular deck of cards. The modifiers are what makes it harder or easier to hit on a D20.

[@williamrthompsonjr556]

In my opinion, there's not that many modifies considering you're rolling a D20. Even when you're at point blank range, you can still miss, or not kill, even if you have high modifiers. Melees are the best way to insure a kill, but, it might be your guy that dies!

[@deadwolf2978]

@@tabletopcp but whats the middle target number? 10? or that depends on your units skill?

[@deadwolf2978]

@@tabletopcp also, could you explain to me what benefits this kind of activation system brings? as far as i can see, you build a ladder and then activate from top to bottom. but from the footage it seems very restrictive, does not allow for sudden moves or group activation. is it better by good old "i-go-you-go"?

[@tabletopcp]

@@deadwolf2978 the results of a shot are fixed. 1-10 is a miss. 11-14 is an under fire marker. 15-18 is an under fire marker and a nerve test. 19-20 is dead.

I have been struggling to find good war games could anybody give reccomendations

[@tabletopcp]

@@ross6325 that is not an easy question to answer. There are so many historical games of varying complexity. Why period of history? Do you like realistic games or fast and easy to play games?

Uhhhh. Not much history in the California foothills?????? Bruh. Made me go watch different videos.

[@tabletopcp]

There isn’t. Not to wargame at least. Plenty of other types of history for you to to watch though. Have fun.

[@kurtthecat3995]

@@tabletopcp That area around Sonora is mostly known for gold rush history, which is fascinating history if you live in north CA.
