He doesn't have any more men available because the last three expeditions ended in a bloody shootout when the wagons were stopped by Milton's gang who took over the town of Hotpoint years ago and now they have the whole area under their thumb, raiding all supplies of food, leather, wood, alcohol. They have an unrivaled environment, where everything is imported only by their affiliated or owned companies. Gang is run by Sam Milton, and his brother is sheriff of Albertown.
