Billy the Kid

The Lincoln County War is on the verge of kicking off in a big way. Billy has joined Englishman John Tunstall in his commercial battle with Major Murphy and the House, but even bigger players lurk in the background and the stakes are high.

The war has started, but Tunstall is hospitalized by a smallpox outbreak. Threats against him make him rethink his strategy and devise a way of making peace with the House. But the road to hell, as he and Billy know, is paved with good intentions.

Billy and the Regulators hear news that Tunstall's ranch is going to be raided. Tunstall decides to make a stand and events take an unexpected turn. Billy and Jesse are once more pitted against each other in combat-this time with tragic results.

The Regulators have been on the defensive since the start of the war, but Billy draws up a plan which could bring the war to an end. An extraordinary shoot-out marks the beginning of the campaign, and sets the scene for a new spate of killings.

The del Toboscos' debt default leads to an ambush by the 7 Rivers Gang. Billy vows the Regulators will take control, but a new Sheriff arrives.

McSween's house becomes Billy's HQ, backed by Mexicans. Clash with 7 Rivers Gang erupts in gunfire. Peace seems elusive.

During the Lincoln County War, Murphy's premature celebration led to the burning of the McSween house and casualties amid escalating tensions.

Frustrated, Catron lures Billy, who evades arrest again with Dulcinea's aid after the Regulators attack the jail.
