Has any one played this wild west game yet or has anyone got a link for reviews of the game i like ROE but not sure about getting a rule book without seeing peoples opinions or reviews.
Thanks

There were features in recent Wargames Illustrated and Wargames, Soldiers & Stratey magazines, there's a lot on our website, and there will, I understand, be reviews in a few of the upcoming issues of various magazines. Reviews are usually also found in the various blogs.

You got any links to the blogs as my google search didnt bring anything up.

I'm sure reviews will crop up as folks get a few games in.

Thanks dude

Found some more DMH reviews; see the bottom of the page:

Played a demo game of this at the Partizan show, have to admit it very nearly had me parting with my cash.

Things i liked, well the small area you needed to play it, it seemed to capture the 'feel' of a spaghetti western rather well. Easy to learn, pretty sure we got most the basics in that 20 minute demo game. Also with the MDF buildings you can get now, a board could look truly awesome.

My reasons for not parting with my cash in the end was more to do with not having a large enough gaming group, its very much to me a beer and pretzels type of game, quick and fun so would work best played on the side, or with a regular swap of opponents, something i don't have.

I decided with just one or two regular opponents the complete random nature of the cards and how they affect play would start to irritate.
