Western Shootout game in 54mm

Based on a rule from a fellow wargamer, I changed the setup so each player has a team of 4 figures, and a goal to reach. There are 4 possible bandit teams and 4 possible lawmen teams.  Each bandit team has a mawmen team with opposite goal. This means when one team is drawn, the next player receives the linked opposite team.

The main figure of a team is eliminated on the forth wound, the secondary figures on the second one.

As this is not the first time we play the game, I added some surprises. Each player received 3 extra figures, of which only one is also added to his team but the other players do not know which one. These figures out on the first wound, but can be posted anywhere in the town. 

Special events out of a list of 12 can occur based on dice rolls. 

Kristof had drawn Marshall Earp: 

 Marshall Earps misson: A group of bounty hunters have delivered “Bald” Sergio Leone and the judge has decided to hang him.

Objective: Escort “Bald” Sergio Leone to the gallows (6p) and don’t let him escape (4p). Eliminate as many bandits as possible (1p per character).

As a result, Steven had to take the Morrecone gang: 

His misson : The Good, the Bad, the Ugly & the Handsome (The Morrecone Gang)

The Morrecone Gang has specialized in delivering “Bald” Sergio Leone to the law because there is a large amount of money on his head. After collecting the money, they free Leone and go to the next city.

Objective: Free the convict before he is hanged (10p) and eliminate as many law enforcement officers as possible (1p per character)

Patirck an Siegfried forming a team had drawn "the Daltons"

Their misson : The Daltons have, yes, escaped again and are on their way to their mother’s Saloon to pick up the booty from the latest robbery, and to take their mother with them. Only Ma Dalton knows where the loot is and the game leader will pass this on as soon as Ma Dalton is taken out of the saloon).

Goal: Get the booty (6p) and get Ma Dalton away (4p), and take out as many law enforcement officers as possible (1p per figure)

Which resulted in Ronny havin Lucky Luke and the amry.

Misson of Lucky Luke and the army: The Daltons have, yes, escaped again and are on their way to their mother's saloon to get the loot from the latest robbery, and to take their mother with them..

Goal: Take out all Daltons (including Ma Dalton) (2p per Dalton) and take out as many bandits as possible (1p per figure)

The Earps started from the prisson, right behind the Sheriff house.

One of the special events : a mexican comes out of the saloon and takes a shot at one of the lawmen.

A hit on one of the soldiers, scoring a wound.

The Daltons quickly brought in safety Ma Dalton of table.

Avarelll Dalton shot down a cowboy from his horse, and took it to go quickly to the cemetery where the booty was burried.

While Waytt Earp is escoring the prisoner to the gallow, this brothers and Doc Holiday, with the help of Lt Garland and Lucky Luke, keep at bay the Morrecone gang. However, Lucky and received some wounds and Lt Garland was eliminated in the process, which endangered Ronny's mission. Also Doc Holiday and "The Bad" went down.

Aftr having neutralized one of the Daltons, Lucky Luke was gunned down by Joe Dalton

Another special event, cows breaking loose and stampeding 2 turns through the town. Each player can coltrol one cow or ox. Ronny lost his last figure in the end. Also Joe Dalton was wounded by the cows.

In the end “Bald” Sergio Leone was hanged by the Earps, so Kristof did win the game. The Daltons weren't able to dig up the loot, as Avarell was shot from his horse by Waytt Earp.  So Siegfried and Patrick with the Daltons ended second, Steven third, and Ronny, having lost all of his figures with not that much af bad guys shot down, was last.
