Hordes Of The Things Version 2.1

Product Information

Gods are members of the traditional pagan pantheons such as Zeus, Thor, or fantasy equivalents. Monotheistic gods never appear on the battlefield, having Clerics instead. The Evil One threatens the small kingdom of Albion with her ravening hordes, which have completely surrounded the country and are preparing to move in. Things started badly for Daenerys. I advanced my army to meet Geoff's and came off badly in the first round of combats, losing a couple of elements on the flanks. My centre did better, with the Unsullied spears holding against the behemoths. My left flank started to look shaky, threatened by chariots and Achilles himself. I took a gamble and threw Daenerys's two champions into the fight - it was a 50/50 hero vs hero fight, and I won, slaying Achilles and leaving Geoff's army leaderless.

HOTT WW2 - Bruce McFarlane of the Canadian Wargamers Group has produced this HotT-related rule set for World War Two divisional scale games. A lot of games define troops according to their training, equipment and morale. HoTT defines them by their battlefield role. For example, a unit of Shooters is missile infantry. It works the same way whether it’s made of Hobbits with slings, Martians with radium rifles, or City Guard with crossbows. One minor heroic element on my side was a group of hordes which held off and then destroyed some warband. Extra rations for those ex-slaves! A Hotter Fire - Rules for American Civil War naval actions. These were written a long time ago, and have provided some fun games over the years. Whilst the mechanics are simple and require a minimal amount of technical data about individual ships (and for may there's not a lot of information), they do allow the quirkiness of some of the vessels to be recreated. An army is made up of a number of 'elements' of equal frontage and varying numbers of figures. The number of figures on each element is unimportant and need only be what looks right for any given army; all game mechanisms use the element as a basic unit. The number of elements in an army is based on a points system. Each element costs 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 Army Points (AP) depending on its type. A basic army is made up of 24AP worth of troops, but no more than half the points can be spent on elements costing 3 or more AP. A basic army is therefore normally made up of between 9 and 12 elements, although 13-24 element armies are possible. Elements are of basic types—examples are Knights (mounted troops relying on a fierce charge), Blades (skilled fencing infantry), Heroes (superhuman individuals), Lurkers (things that hide and ambush) and Magicians (practitioners of magic). One element is the army's general.Hordes are the cheap, mob type troops like lesser Goblins, or rioting peasants, whose weak skills are made up for by seemingly endless numbers. When a Horde is destroyed, a new Horde element can be brought on from your table edge. Meanwhile Veganin has set off on his own quest to slay the leaders of the evil hordes, beginning with the High Bishop of Zylbor, whose priests baptise people by holding their heads under water until they stop struggling. What Veganin doesn't realise, until it is seemingly too late, is that the Bishop's gaze will turn anything it falls upon to ashes.
