Revenge Is A Buffet Served Hot

What's the point having a cowboy bride if I can't play a left-at-the-altar revenge scenario...

Thar's a weddin' in Stromburg today.

 The Church and Boot Hill

 'The Lucky Dog' the grandest saloon in town

 The Bridal Party, L to R: The Preacher, Ma, Pa, The Bride Beckie and Sue the bridesmaid

 The Groom's party, L to R: Paw, Little Jeb, the Groom (Big Pete), Lucky Joe and Uncle Hugh

 The Bride's party spill out of the church after being cruelly jilted at the altar

 The dastardly scofflaws of the Groom's party spill out of the Lucky Dog.  Having had way too good a time in 'The Dog', Big Pete has changed his mind on marrying Beckie.  Pity he didn't tell her first...

 Little Jeb also had a good time, too good a time and ended up needing to see the Doc

 The Preacher moves out and appeals to calm

 Uncle Hugh ignores him, he dashes for cover and blasts Pa with his winchester

 Sue moves to cover and fires ineffectually

  Big Pete runs for it

 Beckie tracks him down and appeals to his 'good' nature.  As she rolls aa 10, she unloads a heck of a guilt-trip on Big Pete

 Guilt-ridden Big Pete is regretting his mistakes, he is frozen in place,

 Lucky Joe dashes to rescue Big Pete, he fires wildly

 Paw moves in to cover his son

 Ma moves to aid her daughter, her trusty six-shooter barks and Paw is hurt

 Little Jeb runs to help.

 Beckie moves to 'have a word' with Big Pete (close combat)

 Beckie (blue) is successful in her 'word'

 Beckie lays out Big Peter with a vicious tongue and a smart right-hook

 Little Jeb shoots wildly (perhaps a few less drinks last night would have been wiser?)

 Ma tackles Paw (close assault)

 Yup, Ma tackles Paw

 In his addled state Paw didn't stand a chance.  Ma lays him out cold.  Little Jeb watches stupefied

 The Preacher again appeals for calm - it goes unheeded

 So the Preacher decided to go all Biblical on them

 Lucky Joe is not so lucky this time

 However, with no medial attention, Pa bleeds out

 Uncle Hugh scores hits on The Preacher

 Little Jeb seeks his revenge

 Little Jeb attacks Beckie

 Mercilessly gunning her down

 The Preacher shrugs off Uncle Hugh's shots and moves to attack

 Uncle Hugh shoots and kills the Preacher

 Sue is not a happy woman, she's surrounded by corpses

 Ma is furious, she flys at Little Jeb in a killin'-Rage

And, oh yes, no other result would have been right...

Sue has had enough, no more nice-Sue.  She unloads her Henry-repeater at Uncle Hugh, cutting him down like the mangy cur he is

 Ma rounds on the injured Lucky Joe, she forces him to surrender.  Perhaps he is lucky after all?

The end-result, Paw and Big Pete out cold, Lucky Joe hurt and many, many bodies.  I guess there's no wedding today in Stromburg.

What a fun game, I'm really enjoying these FFoL Reloaded rules.  They play a fast, cinematic game that feels like playing the game, not the rules.  This was played using the base rules plus 'special' action cards.  Perhaps next time I start using personal traits to flesh-out the characters.
