Hi Stefano!

I’m glad you enjoyed the game. You’ll be glad to know that in the 2nd edition of the rules (which will be released shortly), move rates will all be increased, as will firing ranges. This is only a small part of the changes.

We’ve put about ten times the research into Pistolado II than what appeared in the first edition (thanks to an expanded library and internet scans), without increasing complexity- in fact we made play easier and smoother.

The whole Crew is dying to release the game because we had so much fun working on it, and we want to share this with the group. We haven’t disclosed some of the new things coming out and it has been hard to keep from blurting it all out and ruining the surprise!

If you have any more question, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Enjoy,

TPC
