Our club did a similar christmas themed wargame at Crisis in Antwerp in 2005:-

Great fun. Some of our terrain was edible and you had to eat your way through it.

Thanks - I found your game and it was among those that I liked and used it for inspiration.  I am now writing some simple rules for the game.

I love the idea of edible terrain!  Hmmmmmm - Gingerbread house, Pantone hills, Maybe mince pies (pun intended) as special agents?

UBERCOOL ADDITIONS! The Bakers & the Ginger Bread Boys are my favorite, but all are SPLENDIDLY DONE!

These two links are the only ones still working from my collection of "Christmas Wars" bookmarks, way back when I planned to do such a project:

Two Hour Wargames also had a free and funny mini-ruleset that was titled Christmas Wars IIRC. Sadly, it's no longer available.

Cherno - the Two Houir Wargames rules were a tie-in to the Wargames Supply Dump range. I have those rules.

However, I did a Google search and found they're probably going to be released again (but as an add-on to 'Chain Recation 3.0', not 'Chain Reaction 2.0'), as the file has already been uploaded to the Two Hour Wargames site:
http://site.twohourwargames.com/CR3SantaClausWars.pdf

'Chain Reaction 2015' (which I guess is version 3.0?) is also available on the site, you just need to go through a shopping process (so enter whatever contact details you wish):
http://www.twohourwargames.com/free.html

I have everything from Wargames Supply Dump (I built the required terrain this year during the Build Something process) - so I too should get going with this. It's mid November already!

Many thanks - the first link I had already but the second was new to me.

Some more additions

These monsters from my Doctor Who collection have been repainted to become Snawmehn


Ice Hawks provide scouting and light attacks for Jack Frost's army (e-bay purchase)


Santa's call for help was received by Captain Mulled Wyne and the Walnut on Sea volunteers of the Special Elf Service reported for duty (Hasslefree Frigures)


The field bakery - I found this device in a charity shop and thought "Useful" and SWBO sighed!  It has a spring loaded catapult device on it so it will be a combined bakery and Christmas Pudding hurler.


Santa's transport made from card pulled by toy deer (from Charity shop).


And a hero appeared to reinforce Santa's army - found in the lead mountain!


Jack Frost's Army


Santa's Army


Terrain pieces being worked on!

BEAUTIFUL in their own bizarre way! GREAT WORK!

[von Lucky]

All very nice additions - the oppossing armies are impressive!

Santa needs somewhere to live and work - and we need some objectives. 

Santa's house is a laser-cut decoration from "The Works" with some painting and the lights switched on (bought after last Christmas for £2)


Santa's Elves living quarters - another laser-cut decoration from "The Works" sale for £2


The Workshop (an igloo type building made by a friend "Bezzo") and the Elves dining room


The North Pole itself and some Ruby Trees (North pole is a stirrer and the ruby trees are cut from a Poundland decoration)


Some ice spires made by Bezzo and some others made by me from assorted decorations

Cute project do you perhaps have more details on those Ice Hawks as I would like to get some to use as statues for my elven army.

Thanks for the kind words. 

Sorry I do not remember where I got the Ice Hawks though grandson called then "Ice Eagle" = "Icicles" so they will get a name change.

I am sure that I saw them in a post here on LAF some time ago along with the figure I use as Jack frost and a snow beast and ordered them.  I just cannot find the post or remember where I got them.
