Bite the Bullet: You Are A Legend
I’ve decided to upgrade the book-game and expansion for the 2024 game, “Bite the Bullet: You Are A Legend”, by Frederic Moyersoen. The game is conceived as a cut-and-play game, where you must cut the maps, character sheets and counters from the book. It’s a good old-fashioned shootout game, killing your opponents before they kill you. At the start of the game, the opponent starts concealed and is approaching you. You must first try to find out where they are and on your turn, you roll a die to determine how many action points you have to spend during your turn. The game uses an action table mechanic, which each reacts in a unique way. Shooting is resolved by rolling two dice and applying modifiers. Pretty straightforward, and plays 1-4 people and or cats. The original game contains eight scenarios, each with their own victory conditions, that you can play in a random order. Additionally, you can play the game as a campaign, either as lawmen or as outlaws. By winning several scenarios in succession, you try to become a living legend. The expansion book piles on more fun!
THE PLAN:
Use 28mm resin miniature figures, of Gunslingers, Mexican Bandits, US Marshalls, and Bad Ass Women Gunslingers! For the playing surface, I plan to create my own cardboard tiles, much in the same vein of my Vietnam War (The Legion) game I’ve been making (see here) …blank tiles come premade and I do the artwork with alcohol ink markers and waterproof pen & ink.
This will be a running Work In Progress thread.
