The Final Shoot Out

Here are the last shots that I have of the weekend action, hope you like them?
Another shot of my hide away,
unfortunately extra laundry got dropped off and I couldn't come out to play
Looking for a safe way out of town
Praying for peace
I knew that preacher was wasting his time
This is where 'pistol packing Pete' Nicholson, the lawman had his posse
'pistol packing Pete's' brothers gang takes on some Redskins and hoping to win the game
I guess he forgot about his brothers reputation as his guys and the Injins get gunned down by a shotgun blast from one of 'PPP's' henchmen.
This double dealing action seemed to go on all weekend according to latest reports and allegations and it's this double cross that gave 'pistol packing Pete' the overall winner of the weekends fun.  I'm only sorry I missed the mayhem but there will be plenty more at next weekends get together in June which will be an English Civil War bash but knowing this bunch of reprobates there will be nothing civil about it.
Apart from the June game a number of the 'League' will be putting on display games at the Falkirk show at the beginning of May, Partizan at the end of May and Borodino at Claymore in August and Partizan in September.

Second chance saloon

I've been asked by loads of people to post more pics of the weekends cowboy action so here goes.  A large number of them feature the town set up which was used for the big sunday game and just goes to show what can be produced when a number of gamers combine their collections although I think most the architecture comes from the collections of Colin Jack and Peter Nicholson.
Some entertainment for the boys
Don't shoot the piano player
More entertainment for the boys
Getting to town quick
Wagons roll!!!
This is where my 'Yellow Peril' Chinese gang should have been hanging out
'Pensive Pete' McCarrol sits nervously waiting for a shot in the back
The OK coral?
I'm sure these gallows were well used over the weekend.

Something for the weekend

As I mentioned in a previous post I am a member of a group of like minded individuals called The League of Gentlemen Wargamers and a few times a year we get together to fight really big battles or campaigns and the weekend past was the latest game which I unfortunately missed due to work commitments but Bob Lauder sent me a huge number of pics to let me see what I missed so I thought you guys might also like to see them.
Train arriving for a weekends fun.
Another type of weekend gaming
I think he was kept busy all weekend
Recording the casualties
Stagecoach and Whorehouse both had a busy weekend
Another shot of the train
It wouldn't be a cowboy game without some sneeky Redskins
These ones are getting a bit rough.

The Saturday started off with a series of 6x4 tables with a different scenario on each and every gamer got to fight each scenario to build up their gang rating for the big game on the Sunday which was set in the main town on one large table.  I have no idea who actually won the weekend games but when you get to play with toys like this and a great bunch of guys, who cares.  If you want to see anymore pics send me a message and I will add more of the action.
