The game went very smoothly and in a great spirit as always- the 'Order playing very cautiously and hunkering down in the Gem Saloon (every window and doorway bristled with guys on Lookout, and a lone Crusader with rifle took up a vantage point on the roof!).
Meanwhile the other three Posses kicked seven bells out of each other, with the Cult player gleefully summoning Abyssal creatures as fast as they could be put down! A Broodkin and a Cultist engaged in a toe-to-toe showdown with their shotguns, which the vampire eventually won- Shaken, the creature promptly fed on his rival as they lay there bleeding and full of buckshot to heal his wounds...
The Confederates advanced steadily up the street towards the sounds of fighting, a 'meat-shield' of Revenants leading the way as always. Despite taking fire and even a Hellhound attack, the zombie soldiers just kept getting back up!
Other stand-out moments were the Crusader rifleman on the Saloon roof running out of silver bullets on his first shot of the game, as he tried to bring down a monstrous Behemoth doing it's best King Kong impression on the roof of the Olympia Hotel.
In the following Activation, a lowly Cultist with sixgun promptly plugged the Behemoth right between the eyes- the huge fire-belching beast went Down, tumbled off the roof and broke it's neck in the fall; dissipating into a cloud of sulphurous smoke as it hit the ground!
Considering that this was only the Lancaster lads' second game of DA, and their first using all the supernatural elements, they took to the new rules very quickly (much to my relief!)- the game ended with the Red Hand winning with two buildings under their control, and the Confederacy and Cultists drawing with one apiece.
Cheers!
