4.10 to Yucca

















It was another trip to the Old West this afternoon, for a follow on skirmish game of Fistful of Lead with my daughter. This was a prisoner escort scenario, with my bandito head honcho, Loco, captured by the sheriff's posse last time and now being taken in handcuffs to the railroad depot for shipment to the prison in Yucca. The banditos were out to rescue him before the sheriff and his deputies could get him onto the train. I had an extra figure, a hired gunslinger, to even up the two sides but otherwise we played with the same figures as last time. 

I won't go into the action packed, embarrassing details but the gunslinger lasted about two turns before being blown away by a shotgun, the rest of the banditos being picked off one by one until there were none left standing. I did manage to kill one deputy and the rest were badly wounded, but it was not enough to stop the prison train leaving on time. It was a really good game and my daughter really enjoyed it, so there will be another game tomorrow, perhaps involving a last ditch rescue attempt by the bandito. I quite like the idea of using my gold mine terrain in some way too?
