Pack your six gun and Stetson and get set for some rootin’ tootin’ action from last weeks Axes and Ales club game.

A shot of Dry Gulch overlooking the church and “Woody’s” saloon and ahem……”house of entertainment” with young ladies standing outside.

Marshal, Virgil Earp moving into cover. Few people realise that at the OK Coral it was Virgil who was the town Marshal and who had more military and law enforcement experience than his later more famous younger brother Wyatt.

It was a three sided (but quite one-sided in the end ) game between randomly allocated gangs.

Rod’s or should I say Joachim’s gang from South of the Rio Grande, Jason’s Clanton Gang, and my Earp brothers, ably assisted by a Doc on holiday. The Earp’s were trying to capture (dead or alive) Billy Clanton, the Clanton’s were keen on protecting their turf from the five Joachim’s, who in turn were in town to give the Earp brothers a hard time.

The Earp brothers strategy was to manoeuvre into a better position while the two baddies shoot it out amongst themselves. The plan worked as they couldn’t help but get stuck into each other.

One of the Mexicans is pinned from Clanton rifle fire.

Don’t yah love it when a plan comes together!

The Clanton’s move passed the school house, much to the dismay of the school Mame.

One of the Joachim’s voyeuristic tendencies showed themselves as he peers into one of Woody’s windows.

Joachim shoots Frank MaClaury dead at short range.

Who is promptly killed in revenge by Ike Clanton

Billy Claiborne is pinned by Mexican fire.

My that’s a big pistol you have Joachim!

Billy Claiborne who had just recovered is shot dead by Doc on Holiday.

The pig pen is not a good place to end your dental practice, as the Doc succumbs to lead poisoning.

The Clanton’s clean up two more Joachim’s much to the dismay of the young “ladies” who had lost two potential customers.

As night sets in Dry Gulch the three Earp brothers are alone left standing. One Wounded Joachim and a wounded Billy Clanton are now in jail awaiting trial. The town undertaker has seven more graves to add to boot hill.

They fought the law and the law won!

An hilarious game was enjoyed by all. With Woody’s being the butt (pun intended) of many a ribald remark!
