The WRG site now has the 2nd edition of HOTT available for free download. Click on the History of W.R.G. link and scroll to fairly near the bottom.

HoTT Dang!

Thanks for the link!

Mining elsewhere in his pages also gives:

"DE BELLIS VELITUM

This is a skirmish game for two small forces, each consisting of 1 to 4 sub-units, each in turn of 4 to 12 singly based 25mm figures, totalling up to 24 army points (AP) and controlled by a single player. Figures vary in cost between 6 AP and 2 AP. One figure of the most expensive mounted type or most expensive foot type present is nominated as the force's commander and one figure of each group is nominated as its leader."

and other preliminary rules sets.

SWEET!

Nice. Fun set of rules… must get back to my 15mm undead army expansion.

I like the straight forwardness of HoTT over DBA. I'd always wanted to make a mod which uses DBA types with HoTT logic and rules. I owned the print version but foolishly sold it. Glad it is free now!

I actually still own the book but it is nice to have a pdf version as well now.

Outstanding…

The site is down for me. =(

Excellent. Thank you. It couldn't have happened at a better time as I'm about to start up Big Battle HotT here. We've got to find SOME use for our GW Armies & D&D Minis!

That's nice of Barker and Scott.

Thanks,

John

WOW, I was just about to ask where to find a copy of HOTT this morning. It must be a sign. A thousand thank yous indeed!

Very cool. My print copy was getting a bit battered.

Awesome!

Very nice, very generous.

Once again shows that, despite the occassionla grumbling (probably appropriate for a grognard who could be my grandfather age-wise), the people behind WRG are great and care about their games. I own a print version and will play a few games in celebration of this later the day.

Sadly, while I'm still grateful, it's the rules only & no army lists. Sure wish The Stronghold would get back online.

As someone clever on the HotT yahoogroup pointed out – link seems to work with some twiddling.

Here is a link to the Stronghold through the Wayback Machine.

Thanks WRG for the pdf.

Thanks to the writers! It took me around two years to finally get my hands on a secondhand copy of version 1 of the rules and I've since been happily making armies. Making v2 available is an early christmas gift!

Thanks again WRG:)

Looking a bit closer, it appears to be missing the moderately critical p23 (combat results). Hopefully this will be fixed before too many innocent newbies DL it!

Figured that out last night after making a booklet pdf. Has anyone tried to contact Sue about the error?

I've posted to the HotT yahoogroup where she announced it.

AAAhhrg! No page 23 !!! No good! We are the victims of a hoax!

We are the victims of a hoax!

newbies will be put off but a resourceful gamer will find the QRS out there somewhere and off you go! It would be nice to have p23 though!

There is a QRS available on this site link for this version it has the battle outcomes

Thanks KTravlos for the link!

Sure thing. Kropotkin303 first put it up. I just noted the QRS.

p23 is up as a separate download on the WRG page now. A complete pdf is said to be coming.

A link for page 23 is little lower on the same webpage.

Now I know why combat made no sense to me as I read it!

Got page 23. Thanks WRG!
