 Lakota Indians As settlers moved westward, they frequently encountered tribes of indigenous peoples, including the westernmost of the Sioux groups – the Lakota. A tribe of Lakotas has welcomed you to stay with them for a few days to trade and water your horse. What you didn’t know is that this band participated in the Battle at the Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn), just two days ago! Over 50% of the U.S. 7th Cavalry were killed in the battle. Now, as you wake up from a good night’s sleep, you hear Lakota warriors calling out “Hokahe” (a “Let’s go” battle cry). General Sherman’s order of genocide in 1867 and the oncoming troops under those orders won’t tolerate a friend of their enemy.
 Snidely, Dudley, Nell, and Horse As you are riding your steed over the plains of Canada, you can hear screams of a woman off in the distance. Could this be Nell Fenwick, you wonder? You spur the big white stallion onward toward the shrill cries. Rising up hard and fast, you see your beautiful Nell tied across the train tracks. With a yell, you inform your sweetheart that you will save her. In the distance you see Snidely Whiplash and his henchmen riding off hard. Pulling your sidearms with the speed of lightning, you empty your six guns and rifle into the fleeing rabble. Dismounting the great white steed, you quickly untie your blonde beauty and pull her from the tracks …
 Boy's Night Out During a night of gambling and rowdy drink, you sit at a high-roller table, waiting for the cards to pile before you. There’s a crowd gathering around as the chips go down, and some of them are armed. They approach the table when you look down at your cards and one of them accuses you of having an ace up your sleeve. They go for their guns, and your “ace” better beat theirs. Make sure you don’t “trump” your friends at the table as you make your play.
 Smoke and Fire It was supposed to be a nice, relaxing getaway to Bisbee, Arizona. After perusing the locks shops and settling in for the night, including a fine cigar from Abner’s Dry Goods, you tuck yourselves in for a blissful night’s sleep. But as luck would have it, a few ruffians have tossed a lit oil lamp through a window downstairs and a fire is spreading quickly. Save your partner and yourself – the bad guys are still in the street.
 Tee Totalers Terrorize It seems that a cowboy can’t even have a drink in peace. The locals have had it with the drunkards, thieves, dregs and other crime-minded malcontents that have come through their township after saloon number 20 opened, to serve a population of under a thousand residents. As church opens and the worshipers leave, a mob of angry folk forms and heads toward your bar, the Busted Buzzard. You see rifles and pistols in their hands, so it seems that their attempts to motivate the drinkers to moderate have now become much less … moderate. Time to shoot your way out of town!
 Dr Doolittle's Kickapoo Medicine Dr. Dolittle and his entourage have ridden into town with wonderful elixirs, including his world famous Kickapoo Juice. The Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company, founded by John E. Healy and “Texas Charley” Bigelow, was the largest traveling medicine show in the late 1800s. It offered wild west shows as entertainment while hawking its medicinal products. The products they sold were Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, Kickapoo Indian Oil, Kickapoo Indian Salve, Kickapoo Indian Worm Killer, and Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure. The “Cough Cure” was later discovered to be mainly Jamaican Rum and Molasses.
 Oil Derrick The herd has been detoured thirty miles around the old water holes. The holes, used for so many years have been fouled by run-off from some new-fangled oil wells. These wooden monsters, spouting gas and flame, have been erected right between the old cattle trail and town. The only way into town is through the oil companies land. There is no love lost between the cowboys and this new breed of squatter. Every time a range rover shows his face on the road, the oil men feel free to take shots at him. Needless to say, the cowboys return the favor.
Two feuding clans engaged in hostilities after a debt was forcibly settled by a seizure of horses from a certain John Tunstall, who was murdered after he confronted deputies about the seizure. A posse called the Regulators formed to avenge this killing by the Dolan cowboys, with its core members Billy the Kid, George and Frank Coe, Jose Chavez y Chavez among others acting as the backbone of the group. After several skirmishes and questionable acts by both sides the Regulators are surrounded in Lincoln, and holed up in the McSween House and the Ellis Store. It’s July 15, 1878 and you’re with the Dolan men and their accompanying US Army troops, who just set fire to the house to flush Billy and the Regulators out. Here they come – don’t let them escape!

After Billy The Kid and his Regulators spotted Buckshot Roberts entering the Blazer’s Mill Post Office they tried to get him to surrender rather than fight, Roberts refused and holed up in the mill while the Regulators attempted to talk him out. Eventually patience ran out and Roberts defended himself with his rifle, scoring multiple hits on targets including killing Dick Brewer instantly with a shot to the eye, and even knocking Billy senseless with his rifle barrel! Eventually Roberts was hit and died in agony 36 hours later despite attempts by a doctor to save him. Billy was later asked about the fight, to which he replied “Yes sir, he licked our crowd to a finish.” High praise indeed.
