Hello LOTOWlist, My good friend Paul Houghton passed peacefully yesterday. He had been suffering for about six months from a mystery illness. He was an avid...
Josua and i just finished the mountain men posse that was used as a birthday present for one of our best friends. I´ll post the pictures here, too, but you...
Artizan and Foundry fit pretty well - the older foundry miniatures are a little bit smaller but this can be fixed by higher basing. The size (and look) of the...
Sorry at your loss Guy, a wargames only as good as your opponent mate. You could green stuff up a figure of Paul, that way whenever you play, he can be there...
Hello Guy, I remember Paul from my first historical campaign weekend, he was friendly and willing to pass on his advice and experience. It was playing the game...
I just wanted to put in a good word for a fellow chat site member. I just picked up some minis from Joe - the very "mountain men" set that he recently featured...
Hi, sorry for your loss, too. I too think a good way to honor your friend is to look for or create a miniature that looks familiar to him and paint it the best...
Hi Ron Only Mark can give you a definitive answer on the carbine issue, but I think I can see the way this one is going: BotP p17 states that the carbine is a...
thanks mickey i really appreciate that i think i have more fun painting for other people than i do for myself and i'mreally pleased you liked the figures and i...
Another question came up during our last game (a horrible wagon-train- massacre that wiped out my precious Texas Rangers posse): A hero that has the...
Hi, Lazy B Crew, i see your point, as you stated for the sake of game play, so there could be arguments pro and contra for the carbine to be treated as a rifle...
Hi Good points, which taken to their rational conclusion means that buffalo guns and rifle scopes should never have been included in the rules. Lazy B Crew...
You've raised a couple of good questions...both have come up in our games. Unfortunately, the rules are none too clear on how to handle this. Here is what my...
The Buffalo Gun has the special rule that it will always wound on a (minimum) 4+ (it could be better if the b-gun's Str 4 vs. the target's Grit produces a...
I was sad to learn of the passing of Paul Houghton, wargamer extraordinaire and recent member of the Wild Bunch playtesters. I didn't know him personally, only...
Hi, our group handles this matter like this: the b-gun always wounds at a roll of 4+ or better, ignoring the target´s grit (unless the difference would make...
Thanks, Tom. That's how I understood the rule as well. But now that I am running a "mountain man" posse (with a pair of buffalo gunner heroes), I just wanted...
... games. Unfortunately, the rules are none too clear on how to handle this. Here is what my group has come up with: A trick-shooter can shoot past a friendly...
With regard to shooting into combats I think that Mickey's view is right, although I wouldn't have phrased it quite like that. The roll for which side you hit...
Yeah, we too have a mountain men player now and there has already been a lot of whining...(including the total eradication of my famous Texas Rangers posse...
Thank you for the answer - and i too think there should be a ruling by mark, also for the other questions i raised recently and that were partially discussed: ...
Howdy, y'all Finally got my copy of Alamo. I really like the massed battles and siege rules, and am looking forward to converting them for other eras (such as...
... It will take a bit of thought to figure out the details, but I like the way these rules read and forsee only minor modifications will be needed for Great...
... Or other periods. It'll be interesting to see what you come up with. ... Well I'm running the Alamo at Gamesday (with the grateful help from my local club)...
... Yes, of course. Sudan, Northwest Rebellion and Maori Wars all came to mind as well (esp Maori wars, with the focus on seiges) ... Thanks for the invite,...
If itıs a ruling you want, itıs a ruling you shall get... The most important statement in the entire debate is this one: "A fighter is not allowed to shoot...
... Yes he can, although his chances of winning the fight are reduced. ... The rules as written suggest that yes, models in a fight are hit if they are under...
Thanks for clarifying that, Mark. It's funny, when I read that very same statement, I came to the opposite conclusion about the Trick Shooter. That is, since...
