Well - I have to disagree with this. I own both CSR and Dust Devils and find little to really compare. Sure, Dust Devils does a nice job of capturing the genre of the Old West...but it's not Deadwood (per the HBO show that is). And neither is CSR per se...but CSR is a lot 'harsher' and just plain mean. In that sense - it's a lot like the essence of the show. CSR has the great mechanic of delivering 'Threat' and using one's 'Nerve' to resist. In this you can really understand how a simple 'Look' will make a man (or woman) cower.

Apples and Oranges...perhaps. Try loading your gun next time...simple boasts don't do much for me. :rolleyes:

PS>> Andy - I remember you from Japan. And I want a translated Tenra Bansho Zero copy in my hands yesterday!
