Wild West Shambattle

Two Games in One

Six-Gun Shambattle and Tomahawk Shambattle


As kids in the 1950s and 1960s, we were treated to an immense array of Western shows.  There must have been 40 or more cowboy-themes shows on television in any given week.  Western movies dominated the cinema. Naturally, cowboys and Indians were a big part of playtime.  We had realistic cowboy hats and cap-firing six-guns.  We also had great toy sets of plastic cowboys and Indians.  

Wild West Shambattle provides you with two games for the Old West.  All you need are the rules, dice, board pieces you make from cheap colored construction paper, and a few bags of toy cowboys and Indians. The rules are easy to learn and fun to play.  Using your toy cowboys and Indians, you can stage gunfights, battles and adventures of your own, just like the real fighting men of the Old West. Your cowboys and Indians move and fight through cow towns, roadways, rivers, woods and Indian villages.  They might even have to deal with a sudden cattle stampede!
Six-Gun Shambattle is a game of Cowboys.  Gather your posse of gunslingers to fight off bandits and bad men.  You men use their six-guns and rifles against bands of renegades. They also need the lasso to handle sudden cattle stampedes. Capture the hide-outs of bandits, run badmen off the land and rope stampeding cattle all in one game!
Tomahawk Shambattle is a game of warring Indian Tribes.  You guide the men of your tribe against an enemy tribe.  Using bows and arrows, rifles, tomahawks and lances, your warriors run renegades off the land.  You lead your war parties to capture enemy villages.  But be careful!  You never know when the buffalo might stampede right into one of your raiding parties!
Two games in one!  But wait ,what about the classic games of cowboys versus Indians?  We have it!  Right in the middle of the book is the information to play a third game!  You can choose to lead cowboys or Indians against one another.  Wild West Shambattle is the way to play!

Tomahawk Shambattle and Six-Gun Shambattle give you twice the action of any other Cowboy and Indian Western game!

We have used the best elements of the Shambattle toy soldier game system as a foundation for Wild West Shambattle.  By combining these elements with simple, effective methods of game play, we assure you of a game that is fun, challenging, and easy to learn.  Shambattle games are safe and inexpensive.  They are easy enough for children to enjoy, yet complex enough to keep the attention of adults.

Wild West Shambattle is also a great way to introduce young people to the hobby of wargaming.
