Eileen, Santa's reindeer are reputedly called
Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Donner und Blitzen.
If another source is to believed, when Santa visits Australia his sleigh is pulled by six white Boomers (male kangaroos).

Don't mean to bring up an old thread, but I have been looking for Santa Claus rules since I found the original French 'Pere Noel' card in the files section. I just found this thread and, Mike, I like your update to the original card. However, I bring backs for all my cards and had designed this one for the French card. Maybe gamers can use it.

Here is something I posted at Christmas 2014.
The Santa sanction, or the Christmas file.
It was the night before Christmas and all through house( the trenches,) nothing was stirring, not even a louse.
Then a German voice rang out loud and clear in the frosty air across No Man's Land.
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja,
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund
, Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'.
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Taken up by some Tommie's on the British side, the song echoed back across the lines to the German trenches.
And thus the Christmas Truce began.
Somewhere in the North lands, a message about the truce was intercepted by a local reindeer herder, and before long an epic flight had been planned.
The objective was to deliver presents to children on both sides of the lines in safety whilst the peace held.
Thus it was that Santa Clause left behind his home and factory accompanied by only on wingman to deliver goodwill and harmony to one and all that Christmas eve.
Here we see Santa waving goodbye to Mrs Clause and Clipper's Elves( out on work experience exchange), and setting off with his Wing man, the redoubtable and intrepid famous pilot "Snoopy" of the RFC.

Delivering the presents this year would be a simple task.

I do, eventually, intend to redo all my cards as two-sided. So, here is my version of the above card:

Nice one Mike.
Rob.
Awesome job. A Santa rep gift on its way. :sAprvd:
The Tripods & Triplanes rules for Santa are at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sh...io-for-T-amp-T
Saved Mike! Thanks.
Rob.
Also a very novel idea Zoe. How fast can Santa really move! A deck seems a tad slow :lol:

Red Sleigh Down was far and away one of the greatest episodes of South Park ever made :D
Rob,
This post refers: Jingle Bells, Machine Gun Shells... Or Red Sleigh Down? - Post # 28
Mach 3000 would be difficult to emulate with maneuver cards, and would probably eliminate any useful gaming opportunities.
From the end of the Combat section in rules: "If the attacking plane doesn’t draw the above stated special damage results, it may fire normally at Santa Claus."
So Santa is like Han Solo and shoots first, correct? Enemy pilots can only shoot Santa if they avoid special damage from the A-deck "gift?"
Hmmm .... Me can sense more Santa missions coming our way shortly. ;)
Maybe you already found one, but on eBay you can find a Santa, sleigh & 8 reindeer that’s about 4” in length for sale by Dept 56, called “Up on the Roof”. It’s an all metal set with the reindeer as all one piece and the sleigh as a second piece that hooks together. Not sure how that would work out for you down under. I got one but too late for my game last week, but next year….
I got mine through Baxter. The stl 3d print file is at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:198381
I scratchbulit a sack out of paper and pva glue to match the card.
The ebay dept 56 ones are all $20-$30 plus $25-$45 estimated postage to Australia. Postage will probably be more as the US Postal Service stopped all delivering to Australia back in October, giving a variety of bogus excuses. Deliveries from Australia to the US are unaffected.
Biggles downunder printed the one that went to Zoe. I wonder if toy shops might have some or if you can get card stock ones.
All very good I like the postings on this sight!
