During the last weekend of january, the french club of the Immortels of Paris Ouest organized its 10th convention.
A LotOW Campaign played took place in Kansas before the Civil War. Because of the period some weapons weren't available (no 6-gun, no repeating rifle and the rifles are flintlock rifles). The posses were $250 USD ones and each posse leader had a bounty on him (if he was put out-of-action during a game, the killer posse gained the leader XP * 2 in US$). If a posse leader is captured, he can be free paying the same amount.
The 8 players are in 2 teams, pro-esclavagism and pro-abolitionism. The first 3 games played had an influence on the governor elections ( protecting officials, destroying newspapers, etc.)
At the end of the first day, the pro-esclavagism team won the elections.
The second day began in a big town in which the pro-abolitionism party regrouped and create a free governement. The U.S. Army and the pro-pro-esclavagism milicias (players posses) attacked the town.
In the last game (several years later), the pro-esclavagism governor wanted to lead Kansas in the Confederate States. The pro-abolitionism posses tried to kill him but failed.
The pro-esclavagism players won and Kansas joined the Confederation.
