GAME REVIEW
visitors (unbeknown to us, one of the major
plot devices of the weekend was to secure
the rights to mine upon the Indian Territory).
Soon we encountered a posse of gunmen
encroaching upon our lands and found
ourselves on the receiving end of some wellplaced rifle fire. With a whoop and a yell we
drew tomahawks and charged in – I’ll let you
guess the outcome of the battle but suffice
to say it stung a bit, and it’s the last time I’ll
take a knife to a gunfight!
Vengeance was now required and knowing
we were outgunned we decided to take up
the offer of the Westerners’ law. Beating
the war drums we threw down a challenge.
Claiming we had been attacked on our own
ground we demanded the scalping miscreant
brought to us in chains within an hour or
war would erupt between our tribe and the
settlers.
“…our Indian Tribe (the
Blackfoots) had one rifle and
one pistol between the four
of us, although we had plenty
of airsoft-safe bows, arrows
and tomahawks to ambush the
unwary paleface!”
COWBOYS: Things started to liven up for us.
We’d heard about a band of wanted outlaws
and, upon hearing a firefight nearby, we
rushed to investigate. Seeing a group of
bandits being pursued by angry savages we
set off after them, intent on picking up the
bounty for any bandits killed.
But fate was not on our side: the Injuns
were gunned down and the bandits made
good their escape. We’d been told of a
golden idol hidden in the native camp that
a certain gentleman would pay handsomely
to acquire, so we hatched a plan to keep
watch on the savages and when their camp
was avoided by skirting their patrols through
the woods until a deal was struck: in return
for $20 we would have free passage for three
hours, and some dynamite the Pinkertons
had acquired (which would vastly increase
our earnings from the mine).
Generally speaking, much of the morning
passed without incident other than the odd
visit from fellow prospectors seeking trade,
and a nervous but friendly first encounter
with a pair of half-dressed savages.
INJUNS: The stillness of the Indian village
was interrupted by small bands of Western
folk. Some of them came bearing trade
goods and some of them came offering the
protection of the Westerner’s law. While we
met all with hospitality and a wary eye, it
seemed a tad suspicious to receive so many
