Good explanation of the rules. You should do more of these demos. Also the rules sound cool.

I downloaded the Ruthless gunfighter rules about month ago, but have yet to play my first game, as I've been busy scratch building the buildings and assembling/painting the figures. I've come up with a really cool way to keep track of each character's stats. I've cut a pine 3/4" pine board into 4" x 8" pieces, then cut the piece into the shape of an old west coffin lid. At the top there's a place for the character's name and toughness rating, below that a place for traits, below that holes are drilled for 22 caliber and 32 caliber shell casings to keep track of ammo supply and below that four 3/4" holes for the LEG, ARM, CHEST and CRITICAL wounds (I'll use small diameter poker chips to keep track of the wounds). Hopefully I'll be ready to play our first game in another week or two.

Wild Bill should have had two revolvers since he actually carried two navy colts in real life. However, this looks like fun! I can even see doing a mountain man version pretty easily!

Correct!

Great video. Totally agree with more on rules play through. Maybe an added section when doing a review or compare a similar scenario played over a number of rulesets and discuss complexity, timings, sense of reality etc. Please keep upto great videos.

I will probably use the rules to run the historical battle of Grapevine. Which was fought between the Hatfields and McCoy's

Can the Tombstone Tinderbox pdf be made available, I understand that the box is not being made anymore.

@LittleWarsTV 10 ай бұрын

Yes, that will happen! We are in the process of transitioning all of our stuff to third party platforms and off our LWTV website. Working on it!

Thank you very much! That’s great to hear. I appreciate the effort everyone put into it and kick myself for not picking up the box last year.

Very nice we had a huge debate on the Double Barrel shot gun is one action both barrels or an action per barrel

@LittleWarsTV 10 ай бұрын

We allow the double barrel shotgun to fire as a single action if the player wants to shoot both!

I've "upgraded" to 28mm Wild West miniatures, therefore I'm selling my HO scale Old West stuff. I have 15-20 of the Kubri Old West buildings, most of which are assembled and some HO scale Atlantic Old West plastic miniatures. Is anyone interested?

Get your booger hook off the bang switch! There is no excuse for improper firearm safety.

@TonyAguilarFigure-atively 9 ай бұрын

Exactly, even if it is a prop gun it develops into bad habits that can cause someone to get hurt or worse.

@rossw9764 9 ай бұрын

Love the channel, but I encourage you to learn firearm safety from someone besides Alec Baldwin. Keep your finger off the trigger.

@LittleWarsTV 9 ай бұрын

Alec Baldwin and crew probably should have learned firearm safety from us. Toy guns that don’t fire anything. Not even a nerf pellet. The only way to hurt someone with these is to throw the plastic at them.
