THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, INTERNATIONAL HOTT TOURNAMENT MICHIGAN LEG
In 2012,
Terry Webb of Nashville started a local Hordes Of The Thing tournament in which all players
brought armies that were either Good or Evil, pretty or ugly. This was the
first GBnU Tournament. In 2013, an England event was added and in 2014
the concept has spread. There were 8 sites or "Legs" of the tournament
around the world. Legs were in Australia, England, Texas and the United
States, including one in Michigan at the Pro or Con Game Day, November
15.

Some players were complete Newbies to HOTT, marked with *
We started with me giving some instructions.
All boards were 3 foot square and had the
same terrain: A gentle hill, a woods, a
marsh and a ploughed field. In the first
round, Bad were defenders and arranged the terrain, in second round Good
defended and arranged. In third round,
dice rolled for Defender. Each game matched Good vs Bad based on scores. First round is shown below. Standings and lists are shown at the end.
