DMH Mr Favour's Drovers v Colonel Magruders Desperado's "Ambush"

Having refurbished two of my old DMH gangs I thought I'd dig the scenery and rules out and play a solo lock down game. I chose the "Ambush" as Act 1 to be followed by "Heist" and "Showdown".

The town of Billington, Arizona:

Mr Favour's Drovers from left to right: Mr Favour (Boss), Rowdy Yates (Man With No Name), Pete Nolan, Joe Scarlet, Jim Quince, Charlie Jones, Billy Simpson and Wishbone:

Colonel Magruder's Desperados from left to right: Colonel Magruder (Boss), Dixie Smith, The Tucson Kid (Killer), Francesco, Paddy Mc'Ginty, Jose, Loco the Apache and the mysterious Preacher Man:

Wishbone is collecting supplies from the General Store:

Joe Scarlet (with shotgun!) enjoying a visit to the Saloon:

Pete Nolan ambushed by Francesco and Preacher Man:

Pete Nolan reacts quickly and gets the first shot in at Francesco but misses! Francesco returns fire putting two markers on Nolan. Preacher also opens fire on Nolan but misses while Joe Scarlet and Wishbone run to back Nolan up:

Joe Scarlet runs towards Francesco, raises his shotgun and blasts Francesco with both barrels! Francesco goes down and the Desperados flee the town!

The first act in DMH is usually quick and bloody, this one was no exception! it was also a good reintroduction to the rules for me. Joe Scarlet was lucky to hit with the shotgun while running though from memory the shotgun is a rather over powered weapon in DMH.

Post scene it emerged that Francesco had only suffered a flesh wound and would live to fight another day. The next act moves on to the "Heist"....
