With yet another - I must call it "transfusion" of properly proportional, well modelled Wild West figures like these I will be surprised if there are not a lot more Wild West Skirmishes breaking out form Lands End to John O' Groats - and the rest of the wargaming world too. There are less townsmen and more cowhands and Apaches in this offering - enough for you to take over the Hick town or become Cochise, for a few hours anyway. None of the Mexicans on the list have been sent yet, but that may be remedied in the future. I will list the figures, comment, and draw some of them.

COWHANDS.

OWC6. Drawing revolver, Goatee. Crossbelly draw. Someone may have made remarks about this young man's little beard!

OWC7. Bareheaded with rifle. Range hat on the cord hanging on his back. Large dragoon pistol holstered on his right hip. Fringed "chaps".

OWC8. Roaring drunk with revolver. Waving a bottle of "Snake Pizen" in his left hand, yelling. Fringed "chaps. Hat on his back.

OWC9. Batwing chaps firing rifle. Walrus moustache. Cross draw pistol on his left hip.

OWC10. Not sent {Bareheaded, firing rifle].

OWC11. Fringed chaps firing revolver. Waistcoat over shirt sleeves rolled up. Another moustached "hardhead". Leaning well into his shot.

OWC12. Trail Boss. Or "Ramrod". Weeping moustache, gaunt face. Pistol in right hand, hat in his left. Bags of character.

SHOOTISTS. 4 of these.

OWS8. Enforcer with sawn off shotgun. He has a badge, a huge pistol on his left hip, in a cross draw position. A walrus moustache and a mean expression.

OWS9. Wild Bill Hickok. 2 pistols, frock coat, long hair, watch chain in his waistcoat, knee boots and a ready for anything stance.

OWS10. Enforcer, long coat, firing pistol. Range hat and a Victorian military moustache. The long coat was sometimes called a "duster".

OWS14. Pinkerton man with pistol, frock coat. A sharp looking character. "Earl Haig" type face.

APACHES.

OWA7. Kneeling firing rifle. Bare chest, knife on his left hip.

OWA8. Standing with bow. Just fired the arrow, by his stance. Watching the strike intently. Shirt. Pistol on his right hip. Quiver on his back.

OWA10. Firing revolver. Traditional warclub in his left hand.

OWA11. Firing carbine. Cuddled into the aim. Pistol on his right hip. Wearing a waistcoat.

OWA12. War leader with rifle. The face is a miniature portrait. Rifle held across body.

OWA13. Army scout / brave in captured jacket. Small round hat on his head, rifle held at the point of balance in his right hand. He gestures with his left - "Hark" or "Careful" type signal.

There are Mexicans on the list, and I can imagine a "Magnificent Seven" scenario using them and seven of the Shootists figures - or rather 6 and a young cowhand. I will now draw a few of the figures.
