Can I just add that Highland games are carried out in the Highlands and not Dundee!! We are not far enough North and generally don't have the desire to shag sheep!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

This is a superb thread! I always forget about the UK File cards. Brilliant! I'm going to have a look tonight to see what I have. Great work so far guys!

My mum threw out all my old filecards I could have added a few like Fast Draw and Law & Order amongst others

I found Spanish filecards in nuevadominion.com. Wild Bill was seemingly renamed "El Vaquero" (the Cowboy) in Spain (he was still Wild Bill here in Chile), and he has a NEW birthplace! The filecard says Normandy, France. Well, the name William Hardy was also changed to Cristobal Bisset (which doesn't sound French to me), so I thought at first he was a new character made as a "repurpose" of the Wild Bill figure (just like Eco-Warrior Dashiell "Flint" Faireborne was changed to Carlos "Ballena" Barbera), but later I found the Tiger Force Wild Bill Spanish filecard. He was named William Hardy, born in Hull, england, but he was still El Vaquero!

Jungla is the name of the nuevadominion user who owned the Filecard (based on Outback's name in Spain). I have some more, if you want to see more alterations.

ah, but he's not wearing a cowboy hat. that's a common misconception. he's wearing a US Cavalry hat.

He does sound like a candidate for the blue oyster bar dressed as a cowboy and coming from Hull he is best as the US original version
