Fistful of Lead, Reloaded Battle Report
Final results
Deputy Burt was able to wound Bull Ballard and rescue Miss Belle. Sheriff McClain and Irish Jack exchanged shots to little effect and Burt was able to safely escort Miss Belle into the jail without her being shot. The game ended at that point because even though the outlaws still had two men left, they were so wounded they never would have been able to catch up to Deputy Smith.
While models have 3 wounds each, the number of “instant kills” on the wound charts was extraordinary. Also, everyone was afraid to shoot anyone escorting Miss Belle so there was a lot of close combat and it was just as deadly as shooting.
Next time the Pinkertons will get at least one rifle or shotgun and the lawmen will probably get a rifleman too. I’ll probably tweak some of the traits for the Pinkerton leader too. Otherwise it seemed a roughly even fight.
The game played quickly, the new players picked up the rules fast and much hilarity ensued. So, huzzah!
