Hordes of the Things. It's a WRG attempt at a Fantasy Wargames system.

Probably.

Search for DBA, DBM, HOTT (but you have to wade through a lot of porno links
first if you try that...); or visit Ed Allen's DBM homepage at

What does HOTT stand for? [Oops! Dangling preposition! I meant to say "For
what does HOTT stand?"]

Anything more about this available on the 'net somewhere?

It certainly has - that's where the authors got the title from.

As for Tolkien - well, the book doesn't include any Middle-Earth army
lists since the Tolkien estate wouldn't like that; but on the inside cover
there is a poem which, in a subtle way <g>, hints in that direction...

As for 'attempt' - it is the only fantasy battle system I've seen so far

which allows for a battle with more than some two hundred people per
side - and where a hero can actually be killed by lesser beings. It's
sort of an FT type of game for fantasy battles.

Really? I remember an old BBC radio thing called 'Horde of the things'. Sort
of 'Hitchikers Guide to the Lord Of The Rings' if you get my drift. Any
relation? Heck, I may even have a tape of it somewhere...
