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.
In 2008, the Rogue Nation of Grinchistan recovered from the defeats suffered in Winter War of 2007. The Grinches almost cut off Santagrad, however Santas Army rumbled, and were able to conduct Operation Cannonball Christmas III, saving the holiday for children everywhere.
Its 2009, and The Grinches army stands posed to strike against Santagrad yet again.
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. Santagrad has long been 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.

Event Cost:
1 New In Box, Unwrapped Toy, to be donated to Toys for Tots (You, or people you know, have already been laid off this Holiday Season. Lots of other people are in similar situations, and their children are looking at a bleak Christmas Morning. Skip that Big Mac, skip that Latte, and put your money towards helping a kid this year. Theres 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.)
Ammo:
We'll be chronoing your rifles with .20g BB's. We're not worrying about biodegradable ammo, or anything. Use what you have/bring.
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.
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 outdoor. 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.
Location Update.
I am going to assume that everyone knows where Estacada Oregon is (if you are not so sure, find Mapquest, it is your friend). Pass through Estacada going east, and continue to head east on Clackamas Highway (sorry, I dont know the highway number, its either 214, or 224 or something). As you approach the top of the hill, you will see Fall Creek Road. Turn left onto Fall Creek Road, it takes a couple twists, then becomes Divers Road. Almost as soon as you're on Divers Road, you come to a stop, at Squaw Mountain Road. Turn Right onto Squaw Mountain Road, and follow it for about 10 miles until you come on an unnamed road that has a Big a$$ sign that says "Santas War!!!", turn left and you'll see people, cars, and fun.
Real life Interfered with the ammo supplier. So - go hit Airsoft Outlet, or S4, and make sure you have plenty!
