I look to the other boys in my sleigh. When they see my wide smile they know somethings going to go down soon. I Laugh and yell that this is way better than I was expecting. I lead my boys out of the sleigh and into the hail.

We throw our shields up and run through the hail of snow, hoping those dwarves were too busy to be bothered with us. We ran for the cover of the wall, spotting the witch wheeling around to go after those who ran. I unslung my rifle and asked for cover. The rest of my sleighmates made a wall for me, and I took aim.

On snowball smacked into the back end of the witch’s broom, causing her to spin around and crash face first into the snow. I signalled to move again, my little shot getting the attention of one of the dwarves. A snowball hit one of us hard enough to knock him over, but we kept running.

We hit the wall and made a shell against it out of our shields. One of us started digging through the snow, while the rest of us were busy providing cover and returning fire. We breached the wall and were met by even more pelting fire.

The twins stood at the top of the stairs, firing automatic snow rifles down at us, while a few young ogres hurled giant snowballs at us. The wall was sealed practically the moment we opened it. Cursing I looked around, then smiled. The tank that had been after us had broken off, and was separated.

I looked at my boys, smiling that crazy smile again. I just told them to cover me as I ran for the tank, loading my snow moulds as I ran. I ducked, swerved, and rolled until I was face to face with the dwarf.

Unloading my rifle into her face, then pelting her with a few more snowballs was enough to get her out of the tank. I got in and rolled it out to the boys still pinned around their sleighs. The brothers got up onto the tank, looking in and seeing me with that grin on my face.

"Well, looks like the madman got it good this time." One of them shouted over the pelting snow. "Now, let’s get ourselves in that fort." I nodded and rolled the tank in, keeping it slow enough that the boys could keep up. Some took pot-shots around the tank, occasionally hitting one of the yetis on the walls. I fired the tank cannon around the wheels of the other tanks, immobilising them for my team to grab a hold of. We pushed up to the walls and as we were going through the gate I warned them about the ogres.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Oh boy." One of the other boys called. We rolled in and the first thing we did with the tanks was to fire on the ogres, pinning them with suppressive fire. The rest of the boys used the tanks as cover, firing on the yetis on the walls.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hopped out of my tank and got one of my mates to take over, running up the stairs to the keep. Five of us, myself, the brothers and the two other captains, entered the keep, and were met by arachne slinging snowballs from great webbed slings. Diving for cover the five of us began to fire on the three arachne, our single shot rifles keeping them slow enough for reinforcements to enter the main room. We made our way up the stairs, pulling the ends of the slings out to make them inoperable.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">After that we ascended the tower, going to meet the brothers head on. At the top of the tower they had their automatic rifles firing on the stairs. Looking between us, we all nodded, the other four grabbing their shields.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Go them 'em you crazy bastard." One of the brothers laughed, and we all rose up from the staircase at once, me hiding behind the other four's shields.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">When we were close enough I bolted out, drawing their attention. One of them turned to fire on me, and got a snowball to the face. By the time he'd cleared the snow out of his eyes I'd rushed them, shoving both off of the tower, tumbling into the snow below. The brothers approached me, putting a hand on each shoulder.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Great work, buddy."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Yeah, who knew you're insanity would be this helpful?" I stand there grinning, before letting out a loud call and jumping off the tower. I drag my hand through the snow wall of the tower, slowing myself and setting it to crumbling. When the snow settles I'm sitting on the remains of the tower, acting like king of the castle, when the brothers pop out of the 'rubble', both wearing big grins on their faces.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Traitor!" One of them shouts, and I'm pelted with hand thrown snowballs. Laughing I slide down the crumbled tower until I'm in front of the tanks. Spreading my arms we open fire, leaving our glorious leaders buried once more in snow.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">We drag the sleighs home after we're done, everyone congratulating each other on a job well done, until a shadow slips over us. Looking around I see the witch with her hands in the air.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"No one knocks me down and gets away with it." I gulp as a ton of snow falls on all of us. Welp, I guess you can't have a complete victory...
