Marc and I got together for another couple of games of Legends of the Old West. Both games saw many models taken out on both sides but it turned out to be an evening of victory for my posse. I set up a more rural table than usual, kind of a "farm on the edge of the wilderness" set up. I took a couple of photos to show the lay of the land. LOTOW is always more entertaining when the table is littered with cover and obstacles.
Although the composition of a Legends of the Old West posse changes constantly thanks to a constant cycle of fatality and recruitment, I thought I would show you the posses as they stood at the beginning of the evening.
My Lawmen:
I've been playing a Lawmen posse ever since we first got into LOTOW years ago. I guess it was only fitting that I play the town defenders since I built the entire town and all of the supporting terrain in the first place. We "wrote" quite a story during our first campaign around the fictional town of Assumption, Oklahoma. We decided this time around to keep the same general location and have renamed the town New Assumption.
My Lawmen consist of two groups, both visually and functionally, My heroes consist of Marshall Mills (Sheriff) and two Deputies - L'il John and Half-Tonne Carl. The bulk of the posse is made up of the brave citizens of New Assumption. They have pooled their money to hire the infamous Marshall-for-hire with the hopes of driving the outlaws from their land.

Marc's Outlaws:
A creature of habit like myself, Marc has also only ever played one posse-type for LOTOW, his treacherous band of outlaws. They are currently known as the 4:20 gang, "on account of how they done robbed the 4:20 express from Bluff Creek, Arkansas." You might notice that Marc has far fewer models in his posse, only half as many as me, in fact. The truth is, since Marshall Mills and his Deputies arrived in town, Halfbreed Bob has lost some of his best men. Marshall Ambrose Mills would rather shoot an outlaw on the trail and save the time and expense of a trial. Hopefully, the Marshall's vigilante-style won't come back to bite the citizens who brought him to their town.

Anyway, there will be lots of Old West gaming in the future for my group. I'm currently in the process of finishing my collection of Old West civilian models. I am aiming to have them done before my Foundry order arrives with the next batch. Wish me luck!
