Santas War After Action Report
As the Grinch Army fell back away from Santagrad, trailing elements set up with Colonel Chestygrinch of the United Grinch Marine Corps to slow down Santa and the Grande Armee of the North in the area surrounding a small town in the Northern Wilderness. The Grinches plan was to sacrifice themselves to impede the progress of Santas heavy armor divisions - and in that, they were successful. The majority of the Grinch Army escaped to fight another Christmas.
In savage fighting, Santas Army slowly ground away the Grinches blockading forces until they were worn away - but by the time that happened. Casualties were enormous on both sides - the streams in the area where Santas Army and the Grinch Army met ran red-yellow (Grinch blood, and Elf blood mix about as well as Oil and Water) with the blood of Grinchtruppen and Santas Elven Rangers for weeks.
In the end, the Army of Santa broke through the shattered blockading forces, but the main body was long gone. Santa turned his army around, because delivering Toys to Children around the world was more important than continuing to harrass the Grinch Army. Christmas was saved again.... but at what cost in the broken bodys of dead and injured elves? How many good men and women were lost that day? What dastardly plan was Adolph Grinchler cooking up for next year?
