Hordes of the Things (HOTT) is a fantasy miniature wargame, published by Wargames Research Group.[1] The game was first published in 1991, with a revised second edition from 2002.[2] A generic fantasy game, it can represent armies from a wide variety of settings. Some gamers even use HOTT to simulate other time periods, since, for example, a "Shooter" can just as easily be a company of musketeers as it can a company of archers.
HOTT rules are based on the rules of De Bellis Antiquitatis, with the addition of a magic phase and new troop types, and the retention or simplification of other troop types.
