I know you've already got a lot of suggestions about this, but I'll
still chime in...

Don't forget that it's not just your game, but theirs as well.  It
sounds like that's what they want to do - so give it to them!

If they want to hack 'n' slash their way across the Weird West, go ahead
and let them.  It'll let them have fun, and it's not hurting anybody.

If you don't want to do that, explain it to them, and see if y'all can
compromise.  Since you're the Marshall, if they refuse, you can always
try to find a new group.

But remember - you're ALL in it to have fun.
