This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us - A Fistful of Lead game.

-

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. This time, two gangs decide to have a 'High Noon' style shoot out in the street.

Again, we used Marshal Bill and his posse against Ricardo and the 'Bad Hombres'.

The game starts with the gang leaders in the middle of the street, 12" apart. Their respective gangs were then placed behind them.

This scenario has a different starting sequence. 3 cards are drawn for the gang leaders only, who then have to plan the order in which the cards will be used. The cards are played 1 per turn for the 3 turns, then it's the normal card sequence from turn 4 onwards.

The game is over once one side has been eliminated or withdrawn.

Turn 1

Both Marshal Bill and Ricardo fired their trusty pistols at each other. Being at long range for a pistol, they both missed each other.

'High Noon'

The two gangs watch what is happening in the street.






Turn 2

Ricardo went first and this time and managed to hit Marshal Bill. Ricardo used his second action to run over to some cover.



Marshal Bill successfully passed his Recovery roll.

Turn 3

This time Marshal Bill went first. Suffering from a wound, he did his best to run behind some cover.


Ricardo realised that weren't any eligible targets in sight, so he ran unto cover as well.

Turn 4

The rest of the gangs now activated.



A gunfight erupted in front of the Store. First blood to the Posse as the drunk 'Deputy' gunned down Jorge from the 'Bad Hombres'.


The 'Bad Hombres' struck back immediately, with Hector successfully hitting and killing 'Doc'.


Turn 5

A tactical use of an Ace as the 'Queen of Hearts' saw Marshal Bill shrug off his wound and then gun down Carlos. For the rest of the game, Carlos became a sitting duck as he accumulated wounds and failed Recovery rolls.

Ricardo got some revenge, hitting and wounding Duggen.


Turn 6

Hector tried to surprise the 'Deputy'. Unfortunately his aim was poor and all he did was become a target for the 'Deputy' who shot Hector down.


Turn 7

Across the street, Ricardo tried to rally his men in another shop - of course, this meant abandoning Carlos to his fate.

Duggen recovered and upon spotting Ricardo, decided to let him have it. Unfortunately, Duggen had forgotten to reload his pistols.


Marshal Bill appeared in the doorway. His first shot missed Pedro, his second shot didn't and down went Pedro.

Smith armed with trusty Winchester finally finished off Carlos. The 'Bad Hombres' were now down to two men remaining.

As a result, Ricardo decided to exit the store and hide in the alleyway.



Turn 8

In the Store, the 'Deputy' finally finished off Hector. Marshal Bill got the drop on Ricardo and gunned him down where he stood.


All in all, a comprehensive win for Marshal Bill and his posse.

Location: Southampton, UK

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the ...

Massacre at Briar's Bend - A Fistful of Lead Game

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". This time, Marshal Bill and his Posse get to have a rest, as for this scenario, it is Native American Braves versus the US Cavalry. A Cavalry patrol has set up camp amongst some rocks by a river. The Cavalry are armed with (not so trusty) carbines and pistols. In this scenario, if a carbine suffers a '1' when shooting, the player rolls a dice and if the result is odd, then suffers an additional 'out of ammo' token. The Braves start in two group of 5, in the opposite corners not covered by woods. To add a bit of drama to the game, the game length would only be determined at the start of Turn 6. Rolling a D10, a result of 1-6 would mean the game lasts 6 turns, any other result would the number of turns the game lasts. The Campsite The Braves on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the riv...

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...
