The Rescue

Three teams of three vie for control of a very important prisoner, The Banditos and the Cowboys want to free him and exit with him off their road edge, the Sheriff to keep either of them from doing so, but can’t kill him until he’s been freed from his cell.

Two groups of desperate men, the cowboys near the crossroads and Mexican banditos near the Livery Stables (red building). The Sheriff and one deputy are in the Jail (the half Brick building) and the other is either taking a bath or talking to a lawyer in the bathhouse.

Fernando races across the street and drops “Boss Mcgriff with a single shot.

He is quickly joined by Sam Jones, while Wyatt takes a pot shot at the sheriff in the Jailhouse, the sheriff with A CV of 5 fails both on the shot at test and skedaddles.

Rhett Valet steps out of the Bathhouse and is also “out of the fight” (you can just see his head near the bottom of the photo) care of Wyatt, the Sheriff is just leaving town.

With the Sheriff gone, Senor Shotgun moves up and disposes of Rhett with some buckshot

Wyatt and Fernando have it out behind the Assay office, Fernando is out of the fight

Senor Shotgun clears the Jailhouse of “Hostiles”

Wyatt finishes off Fernando.

Senor Shotgun finishes Wyatt off.

Aftermath:

   Sheriff Duke moves onto to become sheriff of a new town, somewhere they don’t check references, with his morale lowered to 4, (he ran away without even a scratch), Whitey Burp becomes the new Sheriff, and vows to kill Duke next time he sees him.

   The Banditos expand their personnel base as word spreads they have a new cook, Senor Shotgun is now head Honcho as Fernando was slain.

   The Cowboys recover.

    I tried the variant shooting option where you rolled 3D6 versus CV, but I found it was far too easy to pass 2 or more which resulted in a lot of bad wounds.
