Finally. I've been looking for the dueling flow chart for a decade. You’re doing the Lord’s work, Dave. Does it have the "Gunslinger" skill tree?

The system is built on the familiar Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game (MESBG) engine, blended with campaign elements from games like Mordheim.

Thematic Distractions: Scenarios can feature interactive elements like reporters, locals, or townsfolk who interfere with the primary objective.

High-Stakes Shootouts: Features specific "Jump Tables" and "Spotting Rolls" to simulate the tension and obstacles of a frontier environment. Digital Availability

Because the physical book is out of print, most players access Showdown through PDF versions available on community sites like Scribd. These digital copies allow modern hobbyists to utilize the system with any 25mm–28mm Wild West miniatures. If you'd like to dive deeper, I can look for: Specific stats for the new "Showdown" gangs.

Games Workshop has not re-released Legends of the Old West since 2010. The IP is effectively abandoned. You will not find it on Warhammer+. Your best bet is to search for second-hand digital compilations. Reputable wargaming forums like The Oldhammer Forum, DakkaDakka (archives section), or BoardGameGeek occasionally have users who share the file under "abandonware" discussions. Always check forum rules.

The PDF introduces a risk-reward mechanic for pistols. A gunslinger can declare "Fanning" before rolling to hit. They roll three attack dice instead of one, but any roll of a natural 1 jams the weapon for the rest of the game. This turned cheap six-shooters into terrifying but unreliable tools, perfectly capturing the desperation of a last stand.
