So, Daughter and I played our first game of FFoL 2nd Edition a couple of nights ago. Had a blast but I forgot to take pictures. She really enjoyed it. Played on a 2x2
ft area, main road of a small town down the center, 3 buildings on each side of the road along with stacks of barrels and stuff for scatter terrain.
She had 4 female gunslingers, two with pistols, one rifle and one shotgun. I had a group of four similarly armed Mexican banditos who had come north for what they hoped were easy pickings.
3 buildings had one loot marker each. Goal was to grab loot and get back off the board.
One stand out point. She had one of her cowgals leave cover and run up to one of my desperados and initiate close combat. She lost the close combat roll and became pinned. My guy activated and initiated another round with her prone and pinned figure. She won the roll and on the subsequent wound rolls killed him.
We explained it as if in a movie. She charges him just to get popped in the face with his rifle butt. He then chuckles, and as he takes aim to finish her off she rolls over onto her back and lets him have it with her Colt. BOOM! down he goes!
Daughter asked 'Can we play again?' and so we did.
Layout on a 3'x3' table which Daughter set up:
Each of us picked five figures, she again stuck with the female gunslingers and I again took
Los Deperados Mexicanos.
We each spent the first turn going towards cover while trying to get into range. We each had one rifle armed figure and a couple shotguns and a couple pistol armed figures. Shotguns proved to be the game winner.
There was a loot marker in the barn, and both of us went towards it. The majority of the action centered around the barn. Her rolling was great, and though I got cards I needed my rolling was abysmal.
I had tried to circle a guy around the back side of town to ambush one of her figures that went into the local jail to grab a loot marker. I got into range of the back door to the jail and La Chica Peligrosa burst out of the back door, loot bag in hand, and with a well placed shot took my poor campesino down.
Meanwhile, one of my guys infiltrated the barn where there was a female gunslinger in the hay loft causing havoc (having killed one poor Mexican and wounded another). He stealthy climbed up the hay loft and let her have it at close range with his shotgun. BOOM!
Unfortunately the climb up the ladder coupled with mucho tequila prior to the battle threw off his aim and he just pinned her. She recovered from the pin and blew him to hell.
Eventually my rifle armed hero on overwatch (not in game terms but in tactical terms) was the only guy I had left. He made a valiant stand, recovering from pin after pin and carrying a vicious wound. He was eventually surrounded and gunned down in cold blood, leaving 5 hijos pequeños y una esposa bonita wondering why he never came home.
My daughter seems to have a mean streak, taking obnoxious pride in blowing away people with a shotgun. She is already plotting her next act of destruction and mayhem against her poor peace loving father (who wonders where he went wrong).

By the way, most of the figures are Black Scorpion. The two colorful buildings and the livery stable/barn are Gamescraft products, the other buildings are resin Old Glory buildings.
The tokens and cards were from the Fistful of Lead
KS a while back.
) He has a separate scenario book available, but there are several included in the main rule book (and it is too easy to come up with your own). You can handle multiple players very easily. Really, it is a very fun game.
