Reloaded

Fistful of Lead: Reloaded was designed as a quick set of wargame rules for gunfghts in the Wild West. The rules can be learned within a couple of turns and still keep the flavor of the period. The play is fast and furious, with a Hollywood fair to it.

It was this title that the entire system sprang from. The original.

Over the past 20+ years, the mechanics have grown and evolved. The core rules really reflect how the system mechanics work as a versatile foundation, with other titles acting as a skin or sleeve, to add aesthetic flair to your genre or period.

Now, the mechanics and play of Reloaded 2nd Edition will align more closely to that of the core rules.

If you like the original rules as-is, you don't have to buy a thing. Just keep on playing.

However, if you want to take your Western scenarios to the next level, here's what to expect:

  • Beautiful full-color printing
  • Fresh pictures and illustrations
  • Covers Wild West weapons, Gatling gun and TNT
  • Train car layouts for postal and passenger
  • Updated campaign and scenarios
  • Updated mechanics and traits
  • Perfect binding
  • 60 pages

In most games, each player can control five to eight gunfighters without much trouble. Games can have up to eight players without slowing down the game. Experienced wargamers and new players alike will enjoy this game. It's perfect for convention games and just one-on-one shoot-outs.
