The "dog days" of summer are here -named for the dog constellation, not because puppies lay around with their tongues hanging out, and soon the wonderful cool weather of fall will replace the hot humid summer weather (at least here in middle Tennessee). The coming of fall also brings forth the 2017 event the world has been waiting for (I borrowed that straight from a TV commercial telling me what I was waiting for – saw it on TV so it must be true!!!). Yep, it's time to start looking for the Good, Bad and Ugly International HOTT Tournament to be played around the world. This is a tournament played using the Hordes of the Things rules (HOTT).
There are 9 legs this year, but all look to be very exciting, and this years theme should prove some very interesting armies – Alien Invasion. The Legs are:
Staines/GBnUIT, UK – Coordinators are Pete James and Chris Denman covering for Tim Moore who will be out of pocket.
North Yorkshire, UK – Coordinator Bob Carter
Republic of Texas, US – Coordinator Blake Radetsky
Tornado Alley, US – Coordinator John Hovey
Shetland Islands, UK – Coordinator Mike McEwan
Glasgow, UK – Coordinator Euan Caldwell
Mid West, US – Coordinator Bob Beattie
Atlanta, US Coordinator Tom Thomas
Nashville, US – Coordinator Terry Webb
Theme armies are not required to participate, and most locations have loaner armies available, so if anyone is interested please let me know and I'll see about getting you in touch with the coordinator for the Leg you're interested in.
In addition to the local prizes provided by each Coordinator, there will be the Barker Award for the overall best theme army, and the Stronghold Award for the overall best Stronghold. These are submitted and put up on various forums for world wide voting.
Dates are just starting to be firmed up and I'll post those shortly.
