First I would like to personally thank Penrith Emperor’s Legion for their active support in welcoming children into the hobby.
The Christmas Mission.
It is 2200AD and Earth is in ruins after an alien invasion.
The only thing that keeps Humanity spirits afloat is that fat man in the red outfit every Christmas day, bringing toys and joy into children’s lives regardless of the alien presence.
However this year Santa is missing!
Your mission should you choose to accept is to find and safely rescue Santa.
This is a fun mission for families.

Every time the kids cleared a building (the first kid there) received a miniature until every kid got a miniature.
The players
OutcomeThe older kids played the aliens and although they knew they were not to win, they made the game very competitive for the younger kids, telling the kids that if they didn’t save Santa, the aliens were going to eat him.
The kids all played well, fairly and in the spirit of the game.
The parents watched and supported the kids in their adventures.
Have a safe Christmas this year.
cheers Ty
