From the introduction: "These are not ordinary wargame rules, in any sense of the phrase! They represent the culmination of a number of years hard work, in research and ideas, and will give you the best game in your life--if you use them to the spirit and not the letter. Basically they are a time-and-motion study of what a man can do, and how fast he can do it, modified to achieve a playable and enjoyable game which is also realistic. The rules are much more than this, because they also give you a great deal of information, fact and fiction, about the Old West. So just let the cowboy in you out, and git stuck in!"
