"Has anyone done a scenario based on this?" Topic

I would like some figure suggestions, particularly for the denizens of Rose's Cantina.
I particularly need Felina.

28mm, of course.

Somewhat blasphemous but I still LoL'ed

As blasphemous as it is, Megaminiatures has a set of nine apes/chimps that might do the trick (They're in the animal catalog.)

That was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was great!

Thanks,

John

Don't thank me, I stole one of Allen's.

That was amazing! I can't believe I've never seen that before.

Oh, and to answer the original question… no, but I've thought about it. The problem I have is with the objectives of the scenario: Basically, you have one guy running from a posse, then he turns around and sneaks back into town.

Him: If he gets into town and gets his kiss, does he win (even if he's killed?)
Posse: Do they win if they stop him from getting his kiss?

And, of course, there would have to be provisions that prevent the posse from locking up Felina (or worse!). Otherwise it would be too easy for the posse to win.

Either way, it's one guy against a posse, and that just doesn't sound like a great game to me.

Hmmmm. If this was used at the back story for a game, it might work. You could have his buddies riding into town to avenge their fallen friend (maybe he didn't die, after all, and is recovering in the jail?). Then you could pit one posse against another. And Wicked Felina could be a wild card in the adventure: whose side is she on? Who will she help? Will she betray him again, or help him escape?

I may have to mull this over and write it up as another Valentine's Day adventure for Gutshot.

Oh, as for minis: Knuckleduster has a saloon set that includes figures, and Blue Moon has some cool civilians in a box set:

I have based a scenario or two on Clancy Brothers' songs. Onr of the best was Rescue Roddy McCorley.
Now that I am accumulating some close-enough '98 Irish and British, I intend to do it again, and not with Marlburians.

The key is to not let the song clamp you in a straight jacket.
But, I am telling my grandmother how to suck eggs.

"Just for a moment, I stood there in silence.
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done!"

They don't write 'em like that anymore.

It's a classic evasion scenario innit?

The game is more cat and mouse than shoot 'em up.

Posse or posses are out of town at the start. Make sure the posse(s) have to stay together as they are "hunting" the villain rather than staking out the town.

In the town are some NPC gunmen who will move randomly and only react to the sight of the vilain or the sound of gunshots.

Gunshots will also alert the posse(s) who can then converge on the location of the shots.

Need to be some sort of sighting/hiding/evading rules.

Villain has to get to the Cantina and at worst die within sight of Felina.

If he fails to do so the posse wins.

Easy peasey : )

PS: Cannot say that I would definitely buy Cowchimps, but boy would I be tempted.

Probably use them in Judge Dredd games in both 28 and 15 mm.

There's no problem with this scenario. After all, just how accurate with a rifle can a chimp be?

Cue posts showing me chimp snipers.

Wow, you guys are really resourceful. What kind of scenario could we make out of this one?

OFM: Remember to add the little creatures of nature because they don't know they're ugly. I think that's funny.

Chimp Snipers?

Of course that one has a tail…

Definition of a "bad idea".

BTW tried to watch Zappa to come up with scenario ideas but the lack of apes in the vid made it a non-starter.
