Title: "Santa Claus vs The Nazis" G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. Game at Cold Wars '13
Post by: CPalmer on March 12, 2013, 07:35:18 PM

Last Saturday night, at Cold Wars '13, I ran my "Santa Claus vs The Nazis" game using G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. rules, and 28mm figures. The game description, as it appeared in the program, was:

"Bent on obtaining fabled and occult objects from across the globe,
Hitler sets his sights on the magical factories of Santa's North Pole
workshops. If these factories could be turned to munitions
production for the Third Reich, nothing would be able stop the
Nazi war machine. The Fuhrer dispatches a team of commandos to
capture Santa's workshops. Can Santa, his elves, and toys stop the
invaders, or will evil prevail?"

I had a nice turnout of kids, teens, and adults, and every one of the 8 gamer slots was filled. The game begins with each of the three German players selecting one of the woods patches surrounding the North Pole workshops for their initial deployment. One player's forces per woods. The North Pole Defenders start at random locations around the compound. The objective was for the Germans to capture four of the six main buildings in the compound.

A great time was had by all!

Thanks for the kind remarks! 

The snow sheet is white felt given light splotchy sprays with gray primer and a flat blue-gray aircraft camo spray paint.

This is a really neat idea for a scenario, and it looks great too.

So what do you tell the kids if the German players win and capture Santa's Workshop?
