RANGER ASSAULT FAILS!
Redleg Gang Strikes Again - Defeat Texas Rangers!
"This ain't over yet," vows McLawson
"We finally tried the initiative variant
that everyone has been clamoring for -- and it threw the game out of balance,"
said Gutshot co-creator Mike Mitchell. "Not that I'm surprised, but
the Spontaneous Specialty was WAY too powerful when everyone just gets
one Action per Turn. I will probably try to test this one more time, but
I predict that the original initiative system is the one that will make
it to publication."
-- Mike Mitchell, Gutshot co-creator
