	Hordes of the Things
		The horde bases are all 40mm wide and the circular bases are 25mm in diameter.
		The base is the full 600p x 600p permitted under the Hordes of the Things rules, athough this can be reduced for playing purposes by counting either the paving stones or the water itself as the Stronghold boundary.
		I use this method for all my terrain, as in some games the trees can be destroyed (to deny cover to the enemy), but for the most part it is simply a convenient way of transporting and storing an otherwise awkward terrain piece.

	Hordes of the Things Fantasy Miniatures Game
		HOTT is a great reminder of that make-your-own-fun, do-it-yourself ethic that many of us started gaming with.
		HotT came after DBA so I can understand there would be improvement but why were not these rules then incorporated into the revised DBA.
		Other improvements in HotT not taken to DBA 1.1 are elements shot at from the read, first turn to face the target and then recoil and that no element can attack a flank or rear on another unless it starts entirely on the flank or in the rear.

		Hordes of the Things (2nd edition) is a set of rules for the Fantasy genre produced by Wargames Research Group and written by Richard Bodley Scott with a lot of input from the Hordes of the Things (HOTT) list on Yahoo.
		Half the fun of HOTT is planning and designing armies to fit in with say the latest fantasy or sci-fi book you are reading.
		Another great thing about HOTT is that an army can be created quite cheaply with a bit of imagination.

		The Frog hordes and behemoths tore into the Pope's forces and aided by the remaining Imperial airboats and Frog flyer who moved to the rear of the line the Pope's army disintegrated under the hopping feet of the horrific Frogs with only a single paladin left alive.
		This is not perfect in HOTT as the surviving units, as in this case, tend to be the nearly unstopable types and can really punish the victor in the later turns.

		However, Paladins worked well because of their effect on nearby magic in Hordes of Things approximates their ability to grant magic resistance to stacked units in Dragon Pass.

		I like to think of Hordes of the Things, HOTT hereafter, as a creation that escaped from its creator.
		What I found was someone who had levered himself out of the competitve morass that is DBM gaming but had failed to understand that Phil and his stroke of genius was just that, a one-off.
		Anyone who analyses HOTT in an attempt to win has missed its very essence, which is pure fun.

	Martin's Hordes
		Her fans (they know who they are) greeted each appearance on the wargames table with chants of "Dor-een, Dor-een" and she set the trend for my use of 25mm.
		I liked the idea of cute animals taking on a combat role, a sort of Watership Down with attitude (and no painting since the figures were already painted), ordered the figures and so the army was born.
		I planned on this being my final Hordes army and I wanted it to be big and very surreal.

	Nunawading Wargames Association Inc. HOTT Hordes of the Things
		'Hordes of the Things' is a simple set of rules for fantasy wargames.
		It is based on the DBA historical rules by Wargames Research Group but adds fantastical creatures, gods, magicians and heroes.
		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).

	Fantasy Wargaming
		For full sized battles I use the "Hordes of the Things" rules.
		I have 15 mm, 10 mm and 6 mm armies for HotT.
		One problem of using 6 mm scale for HotT is that the elements with individual characters, that is heroes, paladins, clerics and magicians, look a bit empty with between 1 and 3 figures on.

	HOTT Revision
		The main purpose of the revision is therefore to clarify the rules and to bring HOTT up to date with current DBA/DBM mechanisms with regard to movement, contacts, effect of flank contacts etc.
		In this game two players (or teams of players) select armies of miniature figures from the lists in this book or make up their own using a points system.
		They are especially useful to slow, outflank and surround hordes.

	HOTT
		The HOTT rules system is extremely flexible and can be used to represent most of the nations and creatures encountered in Glorantha.
		Gloranthan heroes fit neatly into the HOTT Hero category; and I personally play Harrek as a Paladin (not because of his innate goodness, but because of the magic resistance that Superheroes have in Dragon Pass).
		The only category that I personally feel is missing from HOTT is the light troops; I'd love to see a category of Skirmishers to cater for Trollkin, Dragonewt Scouts, Ducks and their ilk (who I don't see as HOTT Shooters).

		Before starting on the armies, however, I would like to note that there is a Hordes of the Things competition held each year in the town of Berkeley (in Gloucestershire I think) in England.
		After deciding on doing 28mm Pirates as one Hordes of the Things Army for Berkeley in 2002, I needed a second army to make a pair.
		The HotT Army is partly the result of picking up 55 Days at Peking on VCD in Korea and partly from the Colonial Hordes of the Things games played with Peter Panzeri and others of the Seoul wargamers in 2002 (the hero Habib dying heroically against the Russians in Afganistan in particular).

		The primary example of this is in the use of Magicians.
		There are no spell lists in HOTT, Magicians act as a kind of powerful long range artillery and inflict combat outcomes on the opposition.
		The effect of their attack may be that a bolt of lightning has been cast, the enemy troops have experienced fearful visions or that they have been infected with a plague of lice.

	chows orcs
		We might instead think of such goblins as a fantasy counterpart of the apocryphal northerner, clannish, rough spoken, given to the imbibing of strong but peculiar liquor, keeping analogues of whippets and pidgeons, prone to mob violence at away fixtures and perhaps too easily influenced by radical politicians of other races.
		Recently, on the HOTT email group, there has been a discussion regarding Goblin Archers and their inclusion in the army list.
		Frodo is only not slain by an orc arrow shot from the East bank of the Anduin because of his mithril armour.

		Hordes of the Things (HotT) are also produced by the Wargames Research Group and are used for Fantasy Battles.

		I really enjoyed a recording on BBC7 at the weekend of ‘Hordes of The Things’: a superb Tolkien parody, co-written by John Lloyd, who also co-wrote ‘The Meaning of Liff’ with Douglas Adams, and produced by Geoffrey Perkins (of ‘The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ fame).
		Just to point out (a mere 5 months after the event) that the first episode of Hordes of the Things has a large chunk missing near the start.
		I read yesterday that the BBC will be re-broadcasting ‘hordes of the things’ on BBC7 from 20th December.

		There have been a number of books published in recent years about women warriors, be they from a warrior society or simply a queen who led her forces forth.

		On top of that, a wargamer in the UK by the name of Alan Patrick mentioned his Hordes of the Things Amazon army in an e-mail a number of years ago.
