13th Annual Winnipeg Harvest Game Day - a Day of Good Cheer

Another year, another fun charity event completed.

Here's some of the mountain of goodies baked by owner Wendy Speary.

As discussed last week, I ran a game of Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures.

My take on the Santa Claus (aka Darth Krampus) space sleigh, "Santa's Express" (the model below is a Hallmark Christmas tree ornament).

  • Captain Kagi — Lambda-Class Shuttle
  • Advanced Sensors
  • Ion Cannon
  • Darth Vader
  • Rebel Captive
  • Anti-Pursuit Lasers
  • ST-321

Notes:

  1. Santa's Express will not attack another ship unless that ship targets it first.
  2. Santa's Express will not use its Primary Weapon unless its Ion Cannon is destroyed.
  3. "Darth Vader's" power simulates the pilot of the enemy ship being placed on Santa's "Naughty" list.
  4. The "Rebel Captive" simulates Santa's cargo of presents that no one really wants to destroy.
  5. The "Anti-Pursuit Lasers" simulate the feedback caused by colliding with Santa's sleigh.

Darth Krampus kept colliding into TIE Fighters; it was only a matter of time before the Rebel X-Wings disabled his ship.
