Rob the Stagecoach scenario - 17 February 2018

Stuart visited today so another chance for a Wild West figures game.  This scenario saw James' defenders escorting a stagecoach across the length of the playing area, with Stuart's attackers attempting to slow the stagecoach to a halt.  The table was covered with rocky outcrops and cacti, plus a new MDF building - a minehead wheelhouse - recently constructed but not completely finished yet, so no close-ups of that building just yet.


The defenders:


And the attackers:


The stagecoach started the game moving 8" a turn so the rifle-wielding defenders struggled to keep up (they could only shoot if they moved half distance).


Stuart's bandits continuously fired off their weapons but nothing to worry the attackers too much.  James' rolls were slightly better and he had taken out two of the bandits by the fourth turn.  A couple of turns later, Stuart had his revenge, throwing a stick of dynamite at two defenders who had foolishly got too close together.  One character was pulverised but amazingly the other survived.

Stuart then turned his attention to the stagecoach itself - the scenario meant that adjacent attackers could roll to attempt to slow the stagecoach by 2", which he steadily started to do.


Finally, four inches from the edge of the table, the stagecoach was completely halted, giving the win to Stuart.
