Things move fast in this game.
Being my first attempt with the rules I thought I'd go with a simple scenario using the same movement and ranges as written, though I was using 15mm figures and not 28mm.
And it was over very quickly.
The two sides were both outlaws, of course.
Floyd was a boss (pistol), Benson a gunslinger (pistol) and Bennie a thug (shotgun).
Sam was a Fugitive (pistol), Jeramiah and Velasquez were thugs (pistols).
The Sheriff (pistol) the Deputy (pistol) with three others who were upstanding citizens (2 with pistols and 1 with rifle (the stagecoach shotgun, a rifle being a better choice though not strictly legal)
The first phase started with Benson moving behind a tree from the side of the building to a tree, hoping to shoot someone in the back.
Velasquez moved(2 moves) down the street to the corner.
Poker Faced Bennie moved to intercept and let both barrels of his shotgun off, but wasn't holding it tight enough and it bucked-up sending the lead into the air.
Jeramiah ran (two moves) to his friends aid, shot at Bennie and missed.
Sam the Snitch was in two minds, went to support them, shot at Bennie and missed!
Sly-eyed Floyd saw his chance, moved, shot at Bennie who lost his nerve and fled!
The Sheriff, Deputy and Citizens got to the street where the gunfire was heard to find an empty street and wondering what the hell had happened.
It was a funny game and over way too fast.
Maybe it was too close and the movement was too much, but I can see why people like the game.
Benson's move didn't affect the game.
The Sheriff, Deputy and citizens had no chance to intervene as I thought for them to react in the second move to any gunfire. Sam, running away at first contact prevented any necessary intervention.
I can see Floyd wanting to quiet Sam for good. Another showdown is likely.
