There's gonna be a shootout!

I'm running a miniatures demo in my school tomorrow.  Seven kids will each get a small gang of outlaws, gunfighters, and varmints and try to gather up the shipments of root beer scattered throughout a ghost town.  Gunplay is optional, but really fun.

I set the game up in my classroom today. The buildings are Armorica, Old Glory, and scratch built.

Yippie ki yay!

So I've decided to write my own rules for an Old West skirmish game. I wanted one where gunfighters could shoot it out, and one in which a tiny band of shootists could tate on an army of Mexican banditos like in The Magnficent Seven. I'll post those rules here when I've completed a draft I'm happy with.

In the meanwhile, I've painted up my first batch of figures, enough for a moderate-sized shootout. The cowboys are "Cowboy Wars," and the banditos are 'Villa Expedition Mexicans' from Old Glory.

I'm testing out the camera on my Droid. The photo quality could be better--I'll keep experimenting.
