Santa Wars 6: the Long Retreat from Santagrad

Last year, Field Marshal VonGrinchus and the 6th Grinch Army was smashed at Santagrad by Santa and the Grand Army of the North in an epic battle that shook the foundations of the earth. Despite Santas army being ravaged by the Grinches, they were able to hold the city, repulse the Grinchs, and by a miracle the elfs of Santagrad showed a will-to-succeed that ensured production of toys never faltered. Christmas was saved for another year.

Beaten, but hardly destroyed, Von Grinchus’es army has fallen back towards Grinchistan, but in their retreat they’ve been following a Scorched-Snow policy, to deny Santa resources to produce toys for Christmas 2011.

Ready yourself for Candy Cane Clusterbombs, and Gumdrop Minefields.

supply your own armband, we’ll have duct tape on hand to use.

Event Cost:

Skip that Big Mac, skip that Latte, and put your money towards helping a kid this year. There’s no such thing as bringing too many new-inbox, unwrapped toys to donate. You never know, you just might be helping one of your friends this year.)

Automatic/Semi-Automatic weapons – 400FPS
Bolt Action Rifle – 550FPS

We will be collecting these waivers at the Registration Desk (Snack Shack) along with your Toy Donation.

Special Rules:
This is a fun and light-hearted game to help the Toys for Tots program that is run by the United States Marine Corps. It is not a hardcore milsim game. Please use extra consideration above and beyond what we’re used to using when playing, and remember to have fun. Don’t fire excessively at any one target. Remember that some Special Character players (Such as Santa) may be ‘effectively invincible’ for whatever reason. Have Fun, and don’t get all bogged down in the tiny details.

Normally, when we die, we put a brightly coloured rag on our heads. This game isn’t about camouflage, and we’re using brightly coloured rags and arm bands to denote which side you’re on. Instead, if you’re wearing a head-cover, take it off, and hold your rifle over your head while going back to your spawn point. Its inevitable that you’ll still be shot, so use consideration when shooting, and understanding when being shot.

Administrators will be on the field, observing major combat areas. To enhance gameplay, sometimes areas will be declared off-limits. The administrators are not out to get you, they’re there to keep things running smoothly and make sure that everyone is having fun. If you’re having a problem, don’t get mad, find one of us, and we’ll sort it out.

We will be observing the normal 400fps limit for semi-automatic-and fully-automatic guns in outdoor situations, 330fps for cqb situations, and a 550fps limit for Bolt Action guns. We’ll be using .20gram BB’s at the chrono station. There are no magazine restrictions.

Please be prepared for the weather. This is the Pacific North West in December. Odds are, it’ll rain. Bring a change of socks at the minimum, and we highly encourage everyone to bring a change of clothes. In the unlikely event that conditions become unsafe due to poor weather, we’ll call the game early. Otherwise, expect to play from about 10A-3P

This is an all-ages game – this does not mean, however, that we are there to babysit you. Airsoft is an adult game, and everyone in attendance is expected to act like an Adult. If you are incapable of acting like a mature responsible adult, regardless of age, you will be asked to leave.

    Hello,

    I heard and read about this event, “Santa Wars 6″. I am a little confused and had some questions.
    1. Is this like any other event? Can I wear camo?
    That was my main concern. I don’t to go there and be too serious for little kids. That wouldn’t end well, and I don’t want to hurt little kids. That’s just mean. One other question I had, are grenades. What do you except for a grenade? Can it be a painted tennis ball, or what?

    Thank you for your clarification,

    Major

      You can wear your camo but please also note the required hat and arm band.
      True, there is not an age limit but all attending are expected to act mature because of the type of activity. Although the whole idea is just to have a light hearted lot of fun and donate to a child in need at the same time.
      I will have to clarify with the host on the gernade question.

  2. McNair says:

    In the past, the “cap” if not the appropriate colour, anything works and we just add coloured tape around it.

  3. Big Papa says:

    i need a comfirmation on the cost so my team is not confused. It is on unused, wrapped toy per person, correct?

    thank you.
