What a Cowboy!

 

A test of a soon to be played campaign. This scenario had the attackers coming in from the right with a plan to burn down the large building, it did not go well.

 

Defenders defend the objective (lucky deployment)

Boardgame night

 

So, we had one of our rare losses of Sentinels of the Multiverse the other night, it wasn't even close. We went up against Apex and his werewolves and just never stood a chance. In retrospect perhaps we should not have selected two werewolf heroes...My two characters Ra and Tempest were the first to fall, then Alpha leaving Haka as the last hero standing. Thankfully we decided at this point that there really was no chance of winning and ended the game. 

The worst part, for me, was that I was able to reduce Apex down to 1 hit point before that card you see poking out from under his card healed him. That may seem like it was close, but it wasn't he was never going to down. Not certain what we needed to do to put him down for good, but we were not the team to do it.

We also played a couple of games of Star Trek. It is a lightweight game, but one that I am beginning to enjoy more with each play. (and not just because we won)

What a Cowboy!

 

Well into the game, approaching the end showdown.

After a game of Midgard my two evening players sat down for a game of What a Cowboy! It was a simple showdown scenario, each player had three characters, a Legend, a Shootist and a Greenhorn. It was pretty mush the first time for both  players and they picked it up very quickly.

Emmitt (in red shirt with rifle) trying to use the covered boxes as cover from two enemies, while Paden, behind the wagon tries to support Emmitt as does Jake(blue hat).

Unfortunately for Emmitt, Paden's aim was not so good and Emmitt falls to friendly fire.

Once the dust cleared after a furious exchange of gunfire only the enemy Greenhorn was left while Paden and Jake were okay.

It was a fun game. There were plenty of Bonanzas called out, a trick shooting attempt and a lot of shooting. All casualties were caused by the Silverado gang including a civilian, a Shootist and two legends including their own Legend Emmitt!

We got most of the rules right this time and it was enjoyable. I hope to get a campaign of it going in the near future.
