Christmas Carnage III (2016) - Part 1
Good afternoon, Beasts of War / OTT:
In preparation for Christmas, we’re re-rolling out all the old “Christmas Carnage” battles, traditionally run every holiday season since 2014. In these battles, a nefarious, wicked, or simply “naughty” force raises a powerful army and mounts an assault on that most sacred of December objectives, Santa’s village and workshop at the North Pole.
These were originally presented in the forums of the old BoW 1.0 site, and when BoW 2.0 rolled out, these were lost to the mists of the 1.0 archives.
No longer!
So once again, Santa’s elite NPDF (North Pole Defense Force) must stand fast against dastardly villains who would ruin Christmas for everyone! In 2014, the Soviets made a try at it with a force of 1939 armor. Having failed, they came back for a modern “Team Yankee” try in 2015.
In 2016, for Christmas Carnage III … Santa’s Christmas village and North Pole workshops are up against an even more deadly threat … BattleTech mechs of Clan Ghost Bear!
These are the descendants of Kerensky, true defenders of the Star League, crusaders who came within a whisker of re-conquering the fractious Houses of the Inner Sphere and re-uniting humanity for a Second Golden Age!
Invading the Inner Spheres and the Battle of Tukkayid, however, seems to have got them put on the “naughty” list, however, and they’ve come to the North Pole to present Santa with their grievances.
Can the NPDF rise to this exponentially greater threat? Can Christmas be saved … yet again?
I’m curious to know if this is the year that Jolly old Kris Kringle calls upon the auxiliaries of The Hebrew Hammer and Killer Kwanzaa. He’s really under the gun as this is the time of year a long cold war turns hot.
I can imagine now the battlecry of “Make mine a menorah to light your a** up with!” while a contingent of remote guided Doom Dreidels act as anti-personnel assets. I have not idea how Kwanzaa comes into play but their presence does something(?)**shrug**.
Merry Christmas everyone!
