In this scenario for Games Workshop’s Legends of the Old West, the Slippery Eli Ison Gang has
launched an attack against the base of his brother and worst enemy, Evil Ike. This tale of bitter
sibling rivalry can be played in under a couple of hours and is perfect for a quick evening game.
BACKGROUND
Alder Bog has been described as America’s
Armpit and flippant as the description is, it’s
pretty damn accurate. Dark, smelly, dirty
and full of undesirables. Welcome traveller,
to the Bog.
The small town has had something of
turbulent history, having been the centre
of more brawls, fights, and shootouts than
most of the nine levels of hell combined.
But the past troubles of the Bog are nothing
compared to the recent goings on.
Two English gentlemen, brothers and keen
hunters who learned the killing trade in
Africa, have journeyed to the New World
in search of wealth and adventure. And,
rumour has it, to escape the curse of a
vengeful witch doctor whom they sourly
wronged.
Evil Ike and Slippery Eli Ison are two of
the most ruthless gunmen ever to split
aces in the West. Individually they
are menacing; together they are
terrifying. But, luckily for the
poor residents of Alder Bog, the
Ison brothers hate each other as
much as they hate everyone else.
When Slippery Eli beat Evil Ike in a game
of five card draw, Ike lost it and the brothers,
for the first time ever, drew their guns on
one another. Neither fired that day, but both
swore blood and ever since their
respective posses have never
stopped fighting.
Today, one way or another, they
finally will.
THE MAP
The map shows a 4’ by 4’ area that includes
Alder Bog’s poorest quarter. In the centre
is Hickory Joe Taylor’s old ranch where
Evil Ike’s Bogland Blaggers have taken
up residence. The Blaggers have fallen on
hard times, and the constant fighting with
Slippery Eli’s Justice Bringers have forced
the Blaggers to take refuge wherever they
can.
Hickory Joe Taylor’s ranch needs to provide
plenty of cover and defensible positions for
the Blaggers to give them protection from
the Justice Bringer’s attack. Surrounding
the ranch are the ramshackle buildings
of Alder Bog. Three or four buildings
is plenty.

DAWN RAID
Slippery Eli has lived up to his mantle and
has set his attack against his brother for
sunrise, when he knows the Blaggers will
still be sound asleep from the previous
night’s heavy drinking.
As such when the alarm is sounded
most of the Blaggers will be only semi-
conscious at best. Roll a D6 for each
model; only on a roll of 4+ can they be
placed on the map before the start of the
battle.
At the start of each turn, including the first
roll again for each model not deployed, on
a roll of 4+ they may be placed on the table,
but only within 1” of a doorway or opening
of an outhouse, shack or building of the
ranch.
EVIL IKE’S BOGLAND BLAGGERS
Aside from John Mercy McClane and Ike
himself, all the Blaggers are related to one
another and in fact Ike himself is related to
them by marriage. As such they are known
as Ike’s Inlaws.
Evil Ike’s posse is a mean, gruff bunch

of bums and losers too dumb to be good
criminals. Instead they are thugs and bandits,
who specialise in ambushing wagon trains
and travellers out in the wilderness. As such
they favour rifles as they don’t like to get
too close to danger.
The Blaggers have only five horses between
them, tied up around the ranch. At any point
one of the posse may mount one of these Eli named his band the Justice Bringers and Eli’s Deputies x8
