Star Wars

Battle of Hoth

 

The Imperial forces have discovered the secret base of the Rebels on the ice planet of Hoth and the Battle of Hoth is imminent. Players embody the Empire or Rebels, the Empire starts the game.

Each side has two actions in a turn, attack or movement. For movement action you move one unit one step onto a free adjacent spot; if you want to do movement twice you must move two different units. In order to attack a unit you attack any opposing unit within range, even across a gap, but not across or over other units. Two attack actions need to be implemented with two different units.

The result of an attack is determined by a roll of the die: If the result is Red the attacked player must remove one character/pawn from his unit. When the last pawn on an Infantry unit is destroyed, the whole unit is destroyed and is removed from the board. Special units can take one more attack when the last character/pawn has been removed and are removed only after that final hit. A result of Red + Symbols indicates a power hit. A power hit win an Infantry unit that includes Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker destroys the attacked unit immediately. A result of White indicates a failed attack. If you reach the opponent’s base or destroy all opposing units you win the game.

It is fascinating who you can enact a realistic simulation of well-known elements with simple means; the game itself is simple and can - as all others in the range - be changed creatively and attractively and according to your own ideas or using suggestions from the rules; it is an ultra-light Cosim with variable board, pawns and die as well as rules.
