I need a set of Old West rules that can handle some 100 figs.
Now the vast majority are going to be generic types. Horde of peons, bandits, a few elite gunslingers you know the type.
So far only the old GW Legends of the West rules seem to fit the bill. But I hate revolvers that only fire once per turn.
Any suggestions? |

Maybe play around with The Sword and The Flame? |

Recreating the fight scene at the end of Blazing Saddles? With a hundred figures you need something that is battalion level. |

The Legends of the West rules do allow fanning with revolvers. Also they would be easily modifiable to allow for a higher rate of fire from revolvers. |

"Hey, you in the jail" by Peter Pig using multiple figures on a stand, if that has any appeal to you. |

You may also want to look at Gaslight. It has various levels of 'hero' characters as well as various qualities of lesser mortals in groups with a leader. The weapons stats can also be modified as required, multi-shot, extra powerful etc. |

'A Good Day to Die' should theoretically do the job, although you might want to simplify the individual pinning effect for speed of play. |

Here's a TSATF variant for you:
link Second the suggestion for GASLIGHT too, either would do. Also Two Hour Wargames' "Colonial Actions." |
