[@MarcRacineVT]

This intro is amazing!

[@wartornminiatures2533]

Making a tabletop game from Clint's works... priceless. "There's two kinds of people: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."

[@7thson726]

Brilliant video and game, that intro is awesome 😃🤟 thanks for the shout mate, im glad the video helped 👍

[@tabletopcp]

No prob! Thanks for making the vids got made. Very helpful

[@willschasinghistory348]

Great how those buildings for the Peninsular campaigns look fantastic for wild west and would work for Maximilian's Mexico.

[@scottcoley2950]

Great battle report as always! The intro and extro are super cool and thematic!

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Nice! The sheriff’s window dive at 56:14 was a fittingly cinematic exit

[@SoCalDelta]

Somebody is putting their new editing software to work with that intro. Great job!

[@joepelle9807]

Great reports! We need more with the updated rules, please.

[@grandpamonkey1583]

Very nice intro and the gameplay was superb, Thanks.

[@edwardb1705]

Looks great , just finished painting my bandits. Inspired to get them on the table and try solo

[@wargamepainter3838]

After owning this rulebook for several years I recently started making some terrain with a view to playing. This batrep is oddly fortuitous in its timing.

[@WargamingWorld]

Really love the intro!! Excellent

[@tabletopcp]

Thanks Greg!

[@MedievalWargamer]

Brilliant report! Amazing terrain!

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Excellent games Travis. Great miniatures and terrain. That intro is pretty cool. Bring in the Rangers or Pinkertons men.

[@2smallbros711]

I love dead mans hand thanks for making this

[@BootsontheTable]

Nice games, I can’t wait to play my first games. Love the scenery too

[@ericgrider7593]

Very cool layout/terrain.

[@kuba6547]

That poor sheriff... :D Great game !

[@mikeosman5634]

love the intro.

[@squidpope9344]

Should check out Dracula's America!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Good game, very kind to recover me from prison.

[@lordceiver7697]

Excellent.

[@BeardClipper]

Who shot the sherifff? Roo "Beard" McCox!!! GET IN!!!! Loved this, and these rules look really fun, quick and enjoyable :) cheers both for the entertainment :)

[@tabletopcp]

He’s making a name for himself around Rio Manteca!

[@mattiasgamin9640]

Spectacular terrain! True eye candy. Exciting game but the table do get a bit cluttered by all the cards and markers.

[@get_the_lead_out]

Great video as usual guys - The game looks really cool. I like the activation system - kind of reminds me of the Blood & Plunder system. Kudos on the opening segment - it is awesome!! I just finished watching Fistful of Dollars and that opener looks a lot looks yours. Well done indeed!! What editor are you using now?

[@tabletopcp]

Thanks Jim! I am using Filmora 10

'Harmonica'... So Charles Bronson from "Once Upon a Time in the West"?

[@tabletopcp]

It is!

[@tomwinkelspecht7796]

Cool game. Love seeing some of the western minis trotted out. What are your thoughts on the game, with the cards and tokens etc?

[@tabletopcp]

It’s a fun game. Plays fast, simple rules but lots of options. The cards and tokens do kind of clutter the table a bit. But I like the variety the cards add to the game.

[@theoldbuzzard5239]

Best way to maximise the numbers with the shotgun is shoot, reload and shoot at point blank. As many dice as possible. Marshall is +2 to hit. With the repeater Shoot, aim, shoot gives best results.

[@Itstheminiatureguy]

What would be a good size board to start with ? Awesome video btw !

[@tabletopcp]

3x3 or 4x4 would work fine.

[@Itstheminiatureguy]

@@tabletopcp thanks thanks

[@theoldbuzzard5239]

You shoot at the nearest figure unless you are in an elevated position.

[@PiedmontBlues]

How are those Sarissa buildings? Not sure I could justify spending the money needed to fill a table.

[@tabletopcp]

They are nice. Not super detailed but easy to build and paint and pretty reasonable.

[@eastcoastaquaticsuk8203]

who makes the buildings with the red tiled roof s with the courtyard walls

[@tabletopcp]

Those are from Charlie Foxtrot. Their Pantile Range.

[@eastcoastaquaticsuk8203]

Thank you

[@iwouldlike2rage785]

Nice intro!

[@tabletopcp]

Having fun with the new editor

[@iwouldlike2rage785]

@@tabletopcp Really well done 👍

[@theoldbuzzard5239]

If you have a 2 and there is no Joker you can swap the 2 for some other card in your gang.

[@mitchellberdinka1403]

Interesting game, but the place first mechanic is really gamey. Seems it would be more fair to roll for it.

[@tabletopcp]

It is different. I think if the game wasn’t being filmed it would work a lot better. But a roll off may be a better idea.

[@mitchellberdinka1403]

@@tabletopcp There is a similar set or rules by Fistful of Lead that uses card activation. Each player is dealt one card for every model they control. The turn is played out from highest (King) to lowest (Deuce) card (Aces are special and can be used as any other card). Where players have the same card, play goes by suit, Spades Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs last. In addition to activating figures, some cards have special qualities. They are referred to as Special Cards. They are played just like normal activation cards, but allow the player to do some unusual feats and spice up the game. While similar to Dead Mans Hand rules the flow is simpler and doesn't leave a bunch of cards on the table as you play them from your hand.

Can't aim a shotgun!
