So I picked up the rulebook last night in an attempt to find a western game my dad can play and enjoy. I'm looking at building our gangs based on some western figs I have and I'm trying to figure out the "points size" aspect of the game. I know that it doesn't use points like other games do, but to get a sense of 'equality' in the forces is it based on a number of models, like instead of 400 points it's 5 Models. Which would be made up of your Gang Leader, 2 Henchmen and 2 Professionals right?

So if I wanted to play a 6 model game it'd be Gang Leader, 3 Henchmen and 2 Professionals right?

Yep that's right for 6 models. Usually, for your average games if you have the same amount of henchmen and professionals and a leader it will be balanced. Fame points come into play more for larger games where you start adding in lots of different stuff or more custom gangs, like if you wanted a swarm of 15 henchmen vs a normal gang or something like that.

I would be keeping things balanced, no need to throw too much at my old man . But thanks for the clarification on 'list building' as it were.
