These french guys had played this wargame with six different scenarios, they inform us
"Yesterday at the club Guidel, we had play a game of "Six Gun Sound" to initiate a few volunteers. This is how we ended up with Luke, Bruno Alexandre, François, Laurent and myself , for this scenario straight out of the brilliant first episode of "Lonesome Dove".
Livestock is the cheapest one that cost us nothing, it is always more profitable to use the other side. If your neighbor is in addition to the other side of the border, you had not even risk criminal prosecution.
This is the basic idea of that scénario.
One player want to steal the Texan cattle, the Texans want to steal the Mexican cattle
while the Indians, well, they just want to steal cattle
for food.
Unfortunately, livestock, whether in Mexico or Texas, is well kept. So both players embody the needy owners of these herds
and they prove to be strenuous to be protected.
On one side of the Y-shaped table, the Texan village, on the other the Mexican village, on the third branch, the Comanche Village. The ranch in the middle near the intersection of all these sites.
One of four players played with over-trained and-equipped Texan Rangers, another with six Mexican bandits, the third with five Texas cattle rustlers, the fourth with the Dalton family who defended the Texas ranch, the fifth played with the vaqueros defending the Mexican ranch. As for me, I had to play for the Comanches who have entered into the dance to take their share of the spoils, as their Commissioner of Indian Affairs no longer delivered the promised of food. Most players are beginners, I'm one of them.
In short, you'll understand that the Mexican bandits were stealing cattle from the Texans, the Texan bandits had stolen the cattle from Mexico, the Indians had stolen cattle from everyone. The Texas Rangers had to keep the border of Indian and Mexican incursions and in parallel, solving the serious issue of the disappearance of supplies for the Indians
