Vulco1:
I couldn't find the template for the cowboys anywhere. I made a character using what Derrick put into the thread.
Derrick if you'll check that when you get a chance and let me know if it's kosher, that would be great. I added it to my post on the Final Character thread.
Cowboys are a constructed template: they are built on the Basic Action Template from Action 4, with no disadvantages, the cowboy package, a weapons package, and 10 extra points. Comanche have two of what I call "terrain" packages and a "package" of 25 points in combat skills.
I posted the basic template and packages in a private message to everyone who had expressed interest at the time. If you can't find a template, feel free to ask me.
The riffle is indeed too modern: its TL6. Some TL6 stuff shows up in the old west, but not at the same time as Amerindian conflicts. We don't have a specific date, but 1894 is almost certainly too late. perhaps you wanted the Winchester 1873?
