Packing Sugar at Freddie - Snowball Fight Rules


Enjoying playing around solo with Christmas Village Lemax 60mm snowballing figures. This is part of my Scouting Wide Games for the Tabletop (and Garden but too wet in the garden at the moment) project with Alan Gruber, Tradgardmastre of the Duchy of Tradgardland blog.

Although we live hundreds of miles apart at the opposite ends of Britain, we occasionally meet up but  more regularly communicate through the comments columns of my blog:
