Oberleutnant Galen Steiner mused as he made his way through the woodline
at the edge of the road that Intelligenzburo probably had it wrong again.
On the last three patrols or missions they had been sent out, the
information Intelligenzburo supplied them was radically incorrect. The
first two outings resulted in no contact whatsoever with the Fed-Stat
forces. The third time no contact was expected and they ran into a full
company of Fed-Stat armor. His platoon had taken it hard before they
could pull out and escape the fiasco.
And now here he was, with what was left of his platoon, having been sent
out by Command at the behest of the Intelligenzburo to find a significantly
sized Fed-Stat unit supposedly moving through the area. He was to take
his unit and set an observation post up on Hill 295. But in this terrain,
this far from the main combat area, it didn't make a lot of sense. Then
again, who knew with the---

The Ancient Outpost discovered above P5K-777 had seemed like a possible
treasure trove of Ancient technology and information. That's why the
SGC sent in SG-3, SG-9, SG-11, SG-21 and SG-22. While information about
the site was being collected on various nearby worlds, someone in the
Lucian Alliance got wind of the operation and the Alliance wants the
technology as well, inserting their own teams to take the facility.
The Stargate is now down (cannot dial in and establish a wormhole) and
both sides are racing to get ships into the area with further boarding
parties to secure the Ancient Outpost. Brutal spaceborne and stationborne
battles are sure to ensue.
Another faction has discovered the Outpost and is not at all sanguine
about representatives of either faction of an inferior and backward
race attempting to acquire such a technological treasure trove. Only
a truly advanced species can be entrusted to use this technology for
the right sorts of purposes....
A game for 4-8 players set in the Stargate Universe using Stargate
Armada rules (modified Full Thrust rules tailored to the flavour of the
Stargate Universe). Will the Tau'ri drive back the ambitious Lucian
Alliance and recover the Ancient Outpost for the SGC? Will the Lucian
Alliance drive back the power-hungry Tau-ri and obtain the technology
for themselves? And what hand will the Others play?

Tuffley's Gulch was a hard town. The land was as hard as rock, the men that
worked the land were hard men, and the licqour was harder . The town had
seen every sort of drifter, grifter, scumbag, soldier, bounty hunter,
criminal, cattle rustler, gunfighter, and even occasionally a Canadian.
It wasn't the sort of place any self-respecting person would stay and if
they did, they wouldn't be staying self-respecting for long.
Sheriff Stuart "Sixgun" MacMurray has a problem; He arrested some of
Boss Kochte's boys for being drunk, disorderly, dishevelled, dishonourable,
and for perpetrating various offenses against the King's English. Boss Kochte,
owner of the K-Bar Ranch, doesn't like folk who interfere with things they
ought not to be interfering with if they want to keep breathin'. The K-Bar
boys are coming to town and soon enough, some uppity Lawmen will be moving
into the local cemetary. Of course, Sheriff MacMurray isn't an idiot and
has called in the Lancaster County Irregulars for backup.
It's High Noon in Tuffley's Gulch. The stage is set for a confrontation
between the Lawmen and the K-Bar Cowboys.
Then again, nobody told the new visitors. They have their own plans.
It's a good day for a Hunt.
A game for 4-8 players with a cinematic flair and where role-playing is
encouraged, played out using FMA Skirmish rules modified for the Wild West
setting. Strap on your six-guns, load your Winchester, shove some buckshot
shells into the street howitzer and help to settle just who will be running
Tuffley's Gulch by the end of the day. And more importantly, who will be

the Church come sundown....
