As a set of mini rules, .45 Adventure fills a niche that (to my knowledge) no other product currently does. I've long been looking to step away from RPGs and back towards a more simple, focused, type of games. Wargames seemed to be the logical thing to pursue and, as I'd had a hankering for Pulp Adventure lately, .45 Adventures seemed to be worth the buy-in price. After reading the rules, there's nothing that makes them stand out as pure Awesome but there also isn't anything that makes them stand out as a bad ruleset. Given that the rules work and they are (again, to the best of my knowledge) the only Pulp Adventure minis rules out there, the $8.00 cover price is a steal. One thing to note is that, at the time of my purchase a few weeks ago, the download still lacked a cover (and the cover thumbnail alluded to by others appeared to be corrupt). When contacted, the publisher did send me a different (seemingly updated) copy of the file, complete with a cover, however. It is possible that they have since updated the download here, as well.
