Battle of Hoth Star Wars rules

Post by chopperboydan »

Here are a few simple Hex rule guides for playing the battle of Hoth with 6mm miniatures :) I may be bringing this one to Hammerhead next year?

Assault on Hoth

AT THE START OF EACH TURN AN EVENT CARD IS DRAWN TO DETERMIN WHAT, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS THAT TURN. EMPIRE THEN BEGINS WITH THE MOVEMENT PHASE FOLLOWED BY THE FIRE PHASE THEN THE REBEL PLAYER REPEATS BEFORE THE NEXT EVENT CARD IS DRAWN.


UNITS
INFANTRY – LIGHT/HEAVY X4 BASES PER UNIT. EACH BASE HAS X1 FIRE DIE AND X1 DAMAGE. WHEN X4 HITS INFANTRY UNIT IS DESTROYED
LASER TOWER - X2 FIRE DICE AND X2 DAMAGE BEFORE DESTROYED
LASER DISH – X1 FIRE DIE AND X1 DAMAGE BEFORE DESTROYED
SNOWSPEEDER – X2 FIRE DICE PLUS SINGLE SHOT HARPOON (1 HEX RANGE) X2 DAMGE BEFORE DESTROYED (SEE LUKE SPECIAL RULES)
ATAT - X4 FIRE DICE (REDUCE BY 1 FOR EACH DAMAGE TAKEN) X4 DAMAGE BEFORE DESTROYED
ATST - X2 FIRE DICE AND X2 DAMAGE BEFORE DESTROYED
SHIELD GENERATOR / POWER GRID /ION CANNON – X4 HITS BEFORE DESTROYED

MOVEMENT

(LORD VADER CAN BEGIN LANDING WHEN SHIELD GENERATOR IS DESTROYED)
HARPOON – NEEDS 12 TO HIT, IF HIT ATAT OR ATST IS DESTROYED

FIRE MODIFIERS
LUKE HAS +2 WHEN FIRING (LUKES SNOWSPEEDER IDENTIFIED UNDER BASE, ONLY REBEL PLAYERS KNOW WHICH IS LUKES SNOWSPEEDER. IF DESTROYED LUKE CRASHES AND CAN MOVE ON FOOT)

VICTORY!

REBEL VICTORY – IF REBELS EVACUATE X5 TRANSPORTS OR DESTROYS ALL ATTACKING IMPERIAL TROOPS THEN VICTORY FOR THE REBELLION

Nice and concise with good variation. I like the idea that Luke’s craft for the modifier is only known to the rebels, that should bring some fun.
