Desperado is a simple miniature skirmish wargame set in the wild west. Desperado features a simple character generation system, random card initiative system, and a unique (and easy) combat chart system. A full range of weapons from bow and arrows to buffalo rifles. Your figures can shoot, brawl, wrestle, jump off buildings, and throw dynamite. The system is designed for 25mm figures, but you can easily use plastic cowboys and indians.
