In 2007, a newly promoted General Santa Claus led the Grand Army of the North in a head-long charge against the border of Grinchistan, crushing the Grinches main border fortress, however being denied further entry into Grinchistan by the cowardly use of Gumdrop Minefields by the desperate need to carry out Operation Cannonball Christmas II.
Its 2008, and the Rogue Nation of Grinchistan has recovered from the defeats suffered in Winter War of 2007. Digging in, the Grinch is employing every yellow-bellied, cowardly, dastardly cruel trick possible, while Santas Army has spent the year re-arming and getting ready to rumble, before anything can thwart Operation Cannonball Christmas III.
Peppermint Pattons 3rd Armored Nutcrackers have steeled their hearts against the yellow-bellied Grinches, while the North Elvenland Highlander Regiment has spent the summer training to be hard hitting and furious. Santas 1st Reindeer Corps (Airborne) has spent the summer packing chutes, and preparing to mount a strike deep within Grinchistan. What foul tricks and deeds can the Grinches spring on these stalwart defenders of Christmas?
-----------------------------------------------------
Santagrad - The Glittering City of Delights on the banks of the mighty Peppermint River. One of Santa's factory cities that manufactures millions of toys for children worldwide every year. The City stands as a shining symbol of Santas benevolence and kindness.
It is for just this reason that Santagrad has become a target of the Grinches forces. Spearheading the advance of the 6th Grinch Army is Field Marshal VonGrinchus. His Armored columns are almost in striking range of the glittering city, poised to smash down upon it like a howling mad horde of yellow-bellied bastards. Drunk with the success of their advance so far, they hardly suspect that perhaps they've been suckered into a treacherous salient with their flanks exposed to Santa's veteran warriors. Its a dangerous gamble. If Santa's Grand Army of the North can halt the 6th Grinch Army then the vast majority of the Grinches Armoured forces will be pinned down in the Forests south of Santagrad....... If they cant, then certain doom for Christmas itself as the Grinch melts down millions of toys to fuel his insatiable desire for the destruction of Christmas Itself.

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 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.
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.

Directions to find the field:
Take HWY 30 all the way into Scappoose, past Fred Meyer and the red Peace Candle, past the school, through downtown etc.
Take a left at the light for Scappoose-Vernonia Hwy .
Take that all the way to Cater Rd, and take a right. The right turn is a pretty sharp one, so it's kind of distinctive. There's also a sign a few hundred feet before the turn that announces the road name before you get there.
From Cater Rd, slow down (since you're in a neighborhood), and take a left onto Alder Creek Rd. There's a house on the corner with a very simple wood-pole fence for visual reference. It should be the first or second turn after you get onto Cater Rd.
When on Alder Creek, be careful driving. Be respectful of those living in this area. Follow Alder Creek Rd all the way, there are a few twists and turns, but it's nothing you can figure out if your eyes are open. You'll know you're going the right way when the road goes to one-lane (and there's a sign designating this), and when you see large pipes and broken down trucks along the sides of the road. Keep going, the road goes to gravel and you're almost there.
Follow the gravel until you see everyone, and find a spot on the side of the road to park.
