I played another game of Space Weirdos with my Wild West figures the other day, using the ten figures I didn't use for that game. I didn't keep detailed notes as I was playing it in bits whilst doing something else. I made one gang (some honest, but competent, townsfolk) by running every figure at 15 points, whilst the other had a heavy points load on two figures (one 25 and one 20) and a trio of 10 point figures to round it out. They were a bunch of renegades led by the infamous 'Scarecrow'. I ran the objectives scenario again. The Renegades lost one figure early on (Harriet Best in the yellow skirt)
Her younger sister, Hester Best (lilac dress) shot down one of the Decent Folk, Red Dawson. So now they were even.
A furious gun-battle developed around one objective, with The Orinoco Kid, katy Fraser and Patience Ogden for the Folk taking on the two top Desperados, 'Scarecrow' and 'Scattergun' Sadie. Both sides ended up with staggered figures or being forced to run for cover, but found it hard to get kills.
The leader of the Decent Folk, wanabee gunfighter Vera Ludlow, got caught in an exchange of fire with Hester Best, who just wouldn't be shot like a proper renegade should be.
Scattergun Sadie finally took down Katy Fraser (and her pet chicken, Janet).
Hester and Vera shot at each other some more.
Heading into the last turn, the Renegades held the majority on two objectives, so were shaping up for a win.
Vera went on the offensive, rushing Hester and finally gunning her down.
The Orinoco Kid and Patience Ogden couldn't drive 'Scarecrow' and Sadie away from their objective, though, so the fight ended with both sides in control of one each.
I managed the rules far better this time and the game ran very smoothly despite being played over an extended period. And it was a lot of fun.
