I hadn't thought about these...

Until Porochik (see "The White General" in my blogrolling list) mentioned them for a possible new troop for the Xmas game. It's a good idea, and I can put together a nice troop of them for about 24 bucks and shipping.

Funny thing, I remember looking at these and thinking.. WHY are we doing wooden soldiers out of metal again??

I'm still in somewhat of a quandry about what rules to use. I did a Christmas variant of The Rules with No Name for last year, but it had a lot of flaws.

Maybe Chain Reaction?
