Cowboys & Indians

I FOUND this "Western Rider Cowboy & Indian Play Set" for £2.99 in a gift shop in Paignton, Devon.
Western Rider...colourful version of the Wild West
As for most modern toy soldiers, the contents are made in China. In this case they were "imported into the EC" by HTI of Fleetwood, Lancashire.
The contents consist of a horse-drawn covered wagon, five green cowboys, four brown cowboys, six brown Indians, four green Indians, a canoe, a tepee, two pieces of fencing and a tree (some of the green figures come across as blue in the photo below, but that is a trick of the lighting).
Note that there is no driver for the wagon or paddler for the canoe.
Good variety of models
As is usual with such figures, the value for money is excellent, but I will need more than is here to put together a decent Wild West wargaming scenario.
