"Mounted, dismounted and wounded Cowboy, 28mm" Topic

I need a set for Marty Robbins in El Paso.
I'm working on Wicked Felina. 😄

Yes! One can make a game out of it!

I did Google "Wicked Felina" and apparently you can rent a yacht by that name. 🤷
Who knew? There are also some naughty results.
But I'm looking for a 28mm Mexican dancer.

FWIW, "Rosa's Cantina" isn't much of a place. It's in a dive area in a slummy area off of Doniphan in El Paso.
Yes I've been there….

Which is irrelevant for the song and game of course.
Sarissa has a Cantina. And I already have a very nice village I picked up at a SYW convention.

It'll be a simple game. Marty has to get from the far end of the table to the end by the fridge. Everyone gets a shot at it, and when they aren't Marty, they're Mounted Cowboys.
Like an Olympic javelin throw, whoever gets closest to Rosa's before a bullet tears through his chest wins. 🙄🤷

Remember that the posse isn't after for killing the handsome young cowboy. It's Texas, after all. No. He stole a horse!

The "bound" 🤷 comes to an end when Felina sadly kisses him goodbye. As thevGM, I will be Felina, of course.

Hey John,

Try Boot Hill miniatures through Brigade Games. You can probably get all three minis from there. They have a Mariachi band that has a dancing girl in the set.

This line has minis riding and on foot. There are dean Texians in the line, as well.

Thank you. That's a fine Felina.

If you want to see the decline of American culture, go from "El Paso" to "Come a Little Bit Closer" to "Margaritaville."

If you say so…. 🤷🙄

Okay. I had a bit to think about this.

In "El Paso" a drunken cowboy murders a dashing young cowboy who he sees flirting with a B-girl.

In Margaritaville, a wasted drunk evolved from blaming everyone but himself for his behavior, but in the last verse admits "Some people claim there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault."
Frankly I see a progression here.

and in between the coward runs away.

No, its a regression, from manly courage to nihilistic despair.

Have it your way, "professor". 🙄
Thanks for hijacking a simple request for figure suggestions into a moralistic fist pounding. No point in continuing this "conversation". As usual, you are always right. How silly of me.
Age quod agis.

John, for pity's sake, lighten up! Must I always agree with you, or is it okay to indulge in silliness in a light hearted way? The topic -- your game idea -- is intrinsically light-hearted, and silly, and I'd enjoy playing it. We are arguing about what happens in a Mexican bar. Please get the chip off your shoulder. If I came across as judgmental and moralistic I apologize -- not my intent!

Arguing through what happens in a Mexican bar (is it "Mexican" that sets you off??? 🤔) into a synopsis of the decline in American culture is not light hearted silliness.
I think you're backtracking. You were lecturing. Admit it.

Anyway, it's easy to find matching foot and mounted cowboys. I'm looking for a matching wounded figure.

Sigh. No, even when I was lecturing on that, it was fun. When I taught in the prison (Walker State, outside of Chickamauga, GA) they let me do pretty much whatever subjects I chose, and so I really did play those three songs and gave them the lyrics -- though of course they already knew them, mostly -- and then asked them to write 500 words for the next week's class on what, if anything, the songs revealed about our culture. About 20 men, including half a dozen murderers and two armed robbers. About half agreed with you and half with me, so it is a debatable question.

I also had them do the same with the old Anglo-Saxon poem The Wanderer, bouncing it off S&G's "The Boxer. Played the clip from THE TWO TOWEERS of Theoden quoting it.

Some of the best classes I ever enjoyed teaching.

My original post, before it got hijacked, was a simple request for matching mounted, foot and rounded cowboy. One. Just one. It's easy to find a set without the wounded guy. I may have to do head swaps.
I also got a Felina! I'm planning a small Brigade Games order soon anyway. I need rowers for a Moby Dick game… So it's a simple add on.

Can we please return to our usual program?
Please?

"Which is irrelevant for the song and game of course."

Never said it was. Just said "FWIW"…

Have fun!

A great Felina! Dixon had some great wounded/ dead cowboys. I've got a couple in some Mex/A War stuff I bought a few years back.If you can't find anything else let me know and you can have one. You'd probably have to repaints him. They are hat-less wearing a vest but no gun belt as I recall. Let me know.

Ah. Dixon has great dead and wounded cowboys.
Plus drunken wenches brawling on the saloon floor, and a "soiled dove" pulling boots off a dead or passed out …. Could he be the wild handsome young cowboy shot by Marty?

Okay, Professor. My wants and needs have been answered. Hijack away! Moralize! Preach it!

Thank you, Shagnasty. But I'll get my own.

Thank you Greylegion.
I just ordered the Mariachi Band (everyone needs one, hainna?) which includes Wicked Felina.
I also ordered some Navy Rowers to go in my whaleboats for my Moby Dick project. I got a nice scale sperm whale at Michael's for $8.95 USD. 🐳😄

See the new Knucklebuster ad.

Yeah. I just saw it. But my Mariachi band from Brigade Games is in the hands of USPS.

I don't know if the Knuckleduster set can be ordered. I'm not about to order $100 USD worth just to get it "free". Hopefully it will be available separately soon.

I ordered an adobe set from Thingsfromthebasement. The larger one looks just like the pictures I Googled for Rosa's Cantina. I don't think that's a coincidence.

This is the ideal "new project" for me. I've long sworn off things like brand new Mexican American War, or War of 1812 projects.
Adding a dancer to my, and the Club's Texas and Cowboys is easy.

Just like adding a $9 USD sperm whale to Pirates gives me a Moby Dick project.

I have all of TFTB's Sleepy Hollow buildings. I need to look at their adobes.
