Great looking figures. You don't get to use reindeer in a game too often, do you? |

I originally got the reindeer figure just because I thought it looked cool. Had no idea how/if it would ever get used.
Then when I was trying to think of a good scenario, it occured to me delivering supplies might work (there's plenty of photos of reindeer being used like pack mules).
Then it occurred to me in the middle of this battle, "why not use them to pack the skis, so they could keep up with the troops?"
The reindeer also pulled small canoe shaped sledges (I forget the name) which seemed perfect for it. That way the guys wouldn't have to go back and get the skis where they where they left them.
Since there is a figure availabe of a guy on skis leading a reinder pulling a sledge, I just might model it! |
