AMERICAN GANGSTER Starter boxed set
FLG58001
New product
A fast and furious skirmish table top game based on Frontline Command’s game mechanics, which uses an array of accurate weapon charts and vehicle statistics. Become a gangster of the early 20th century when the law was made to be broken. A time when fighting against the law was not only done but law was out right destroyed by individuals and motley crews. These groups had but a few simple needs: money, booze, and women...in that order. Arm yourself with an arsenal such as the infamous “Tommy Gun”, Molotov Cocktails or a simple Colt 45 in various scenarios against the law that is out to stop you from taking what is yours.
Or as a Texas Ranger in a time where there are those that have no fear of the law, it is up to you to re-instill that fear in your citizens and demand respect in the name of The Law. You have the weaponry. You have the training. All you need is to know when and where before your rangers arm themselves to deliver an ultimatum to those that do not deserve such a formality: “Drop your weapons and come along peacefully, or we’ll pry them from your cold dead hands!” Guess which answer your boys are hoping they'll hear?
