Holiday Massacre Conclusion

Whew been a bit!  Things have been hectic but here's the write up of the end of the holiday battle!

Turn 4

The ghosts and Ice Golem tag teamed the Treat Takers as the enraged Santa moved on Dracula to avenge his fallen reindeer.   Meanwhile the gift Golem continued its doomed march toward the back lines.

With a mighty ho ho ho Santa smote Dracula while the tag team gave the Treat Takers a final 'treat'.  Unfortunately this mean opening up Santa's flanks to either the pumpkin king or The Monster, neither a good choice.

The elves continued to fight of the scarecrow on the far flank and as expected the holiday cannon fails to save the day by landing any solid hits.

Halloween now had victory within their grasp even after the hard losses early on.  The nightmare engine, Pumpkin king AND the Monster all charged Santa of Claus.  With their combined might the jolly overlord would finally fall.

Meanwhile the ghost pirates fired their ghastly cannon back at the happy holiday cannon causing minimal damage but demonstrating their superior ability to actually hit something!

Turn 5

The Xmas army had lost their leader but fought on in a desperate defense of their holiday.  The Ice Golem went in against the monster while the Ghosts decided to pick a fight with the nightmare engine.  Neither could make any worthwhile headway and simply bounced off their opponents to prepare for the counter charge.

The elves, ever stalwart, continued to fight a losing battle against the scarecrow.

Halloween's forces, with renewed vigour, easily wiped out the Ghosts of Xmas Whenever but the ice golem held firm.  The nightmare engine decided that the cannon proved a more tasty target should a 7th turn be on the menu.

The scarecrow finally rolled average and did enough damage to end up routing the elves.

With too little xmas spirit remaining Santa's forces gave up the tinsel and surrendered.  Halloween would now come twice a year!
