Got in and tested the Cowboys and Dinosaurs rules today... I'm sure I messed up a few rules but all in all it was quick and fun (quick as two people can be with a first game ;) ).

A quick run through lightly narrated.....

The Claynation Syndicate (me)
Posted Image
Jefferson, Eustas, Toppy, Megs, in front of Fluffy.

Lords of the Wasteland (her)
Posted Image
George, Frances, Buckley, Don, in front of Spot.

Round 1.
The Lords of the Wasteland call out to the Claynation Syndicate, telling them to get off the road.
Posted Image

The Syndicate's response is in the negative and contained words not repeatable here.
Posted Image

The Syndicate march forward menacingly.
Posted Image

The Lords break formation and approach, Spot rushes towards Fluffy intent on a big meal!
Posted Image

Spot charges in taking a big chunk from Fluffy. From cover of ruined and rusted cars Megs unloads his shotgun critically hitting the T-Rex for 15pts of damage.
George shoots at long range and misses while Frances criticaly hits Toppy for a whole 2pts of damage!
Fluffy bumps Spot for 6pts of damage.
Posted Image

Fluffy and Spot score wounds on each other while Megs unloads his shotgun into Spot, again criticaly hitting it, this time finishing it off!!
Frances barely scratches Fluffy while Eustas steps forward Fanning the Hammer killing Frances. Beside him Jefferson Fans the Hammer at Don only clipping him for minimum damage. Toppy makes the trio of Syndicate men but only fires normaly at Don, clipping him once and jamming his weapon in the process.
The leader of the Lords steps in with murderous intentions Fanning the Hammer critically hitting and killing Toppy.
Posted Image

Buckley shoots at Fluffy at long range but can't get past the wounded dino's armour.
Megs pegs George for 10pts of damage causing him to break while Don Fans the Hammer at Eustas missing. The others hop from foot to foot busily reloading.
Posted Image

Fluffy charges Buckley, Buckley receives 6pts of damage from the Onslaught.
Smuggly, Megs walks upto Don, and from point blank range... misses! Calmly standing there amid the hail of bullets, Don Fans the Hammer at Megs blowing him away. Jefferson walks forward Fanning the Hammer shooting George in the back taking him out.
Eustas wildliy Fans the Hammer at Don for a small amount of damage.
Posted Image

Buckley fires at Fluffy but just jams his gun as Fluffy bounds forward again to minimumly wound Buckley.
The other all hastily reload their weapons.
Posted Image

Jefferson activates first, shooting and killing Don.
In an act of defiance, Buckley punches Fluffy in the nose critically hitting for 2pts of damage.
Stunned by the hit on the nose Fluffy manages to miss with his attackes.
From the side, Eustas picks off Buckley finishing the fight.

OK, so thoughts....

As I said, it was a fun quick game. Lisa said "the Dinosaurs were a two thumbs up."

We bought the gang as per usual for starting Posse's with the exception of cutting the cost of Dino's by 20% and adding a 'free' basic member with basic pistol.

We noticed the 1 damage pistols were pretty crap (they were the basic 'cheap as chips' 'budget' pistols, so really, what did we expect lol) while the shotguns and leaders pistols were great.
Lisa's force all had the -1 move, which we both decided the more HP's less Move wasn't a good payoff (for our playing styles anyway).

Talking about it, better equipped Posse members (even lesser number of members) would make the games quicker and more lethal even if it means having to drop the Dino's.

I/we think there's alot of potential to this system/genre and I think we'll be having a few more go's at it!
(Dedicated models will be required..... :D )


Some game questions though Bosky...

*With the Move RMC penaltity, does the model count as having moved if its movement was the last round or the current round?
We counted the model as 'moved' if it moved in the last round.

*Charging, is the charge range 1d6" or Movement + 1d6"?
For this game we used just 1d6" (and on two occasions the roll was a 6), but a charge of 1" doesn't sound all that fair, so we'd be inclined to go with Mv + 1d6.

I was always a fan of the Triceratops myself too, that was on the top of my list!

I do believe the Dino's came from German toy makers SCHLEICH, not all that cheap, but really good quality, very nicely prepainted too (though need to work the Dino's mouths as the teeth paint's spread onto the gums).

Yeah, but I can't imagine the terror a T-Rex could cause if he were suffering from dental pain... That's why Ross would make a great Dino Dentist... So, we wouldn't have too!
