[QUOTE="Heavy_Cavalry_Sgt, post: 4577457, member: 80804"] Hi Henry - Yeah, the first time I played it was a little rough, especially because everyone was new at it. There is definitely a learning curve, and some complexity, but as Mark said you can learn the basics first and gradually add the other stuff as you get the hang of it. One thing that I like is that gun fights often come down to putting lead in the bad guy (or the good guy...) first and the game does a good job of modeling that down to the 1/10th of a second. Aside from the combat, the game's world is pretty impressive. There is tremendous flexibility in how the players and GM can interact. If you want an early Clint Eastwood-eque Old West, you can do that. If you'd prefer something more like Open Range or Broken Trail, that is well within the scope of the game too. My players (hopefully not reading the board) have been targeted by some local NPCs to take the blame for cattle rustling and murder. It should be interesting to see if they try to get even, or if they just go with it and become outlaws. In short, the fun I've had with the game was more than worth the learning curve! [/QUOTE]
