Dead Man's Hand Redux The Law v Outlaws

Having tried What a Cowboy and feeling that it was not especially interesting I snapped up a set of the second edition of Dead Man's Hand at Salute.

On reading through it not much seems to have changed other than new rules for mounted figures, stampedes and stagecoaches etc. This is probably good as the original rules didn't seem to have any great flaws in them. 

The first run through saw my Lawmen take on Dave's outlaws in a small town somewhere in Arizona.

The Law close in on the Outlaws who are heading for the Bank:

Bullets quickly start flying:

The view from above:

The Law resolutely advancer on the miscreants:

Both sides blast away with little effect!

Disaster strikes for the Law as the Sheriff, Marshall, Deputy and the Preacher are all cut down. It's a bad day for the Law:

Great fun and reminded me of why I used to play DMH a lot. The gangs are different to each other and the scenarios and campaign really bring it alive.

As Dave hadn't played before we kept it fairly simple with limited weapons and a simple scenario, perhaps in the future we will start off a campaign.
