Salute 2015 Live Blog: Assault On Hoth Participation Game
This year we have created a massive Star Wars gaming table we have titled Assault On Hoth. It's an open participation game recreating the Battle of Hoth at 28mm. We've got everything from the trench works being assaulted by AT-STs to a full on Echo Base which is jam packed with all kinds of cool secrets to find.
If you're at Salute 2015 stop by and see if you can take part in the action. Alternatively you can check this live blog to see the games unfold throughout the day.

As the game goes on it seems like a plucky Rebel Officer has escaped Echo Base. Did he manage to get out with sensitive information or was it just to save his own skin?

Love to be able to join you guys at salute guys, but unfortunately I can’t make it.
Your Hoth table is something else, epic is’nt even close guys. Would really love to see it for real & have a chance to participate in the game.
Hope that all goes well & have a great time.
Great looking table. Good luck today hope you get plenty of interest.
Multiplayer participation games are always one of the “best-bits” of events like that. So jealous here!
I want to see real stormtroopers playing this….
The table looks gorgeous, and the game system fun and easy to play. Great job BoW, as always 😀
Woohoo, someone has knocked out an AT-AT
Have to say that the table looks awesome. Well done guys. When you have finished with it can I have it!?
Love seeing Darth there!
Will there be some sort of video showing game play? Really looking forward to seeing people’s reactions and faces when playing this classic scene.
Maybe get some footage of people’s impressions of the experience and edit it together at the end of the show for an all encompassing opinion reel on your work. Love to see that!
Looks great guys. Looking forward to seeing how what happens as the game progresses.
Well things to do for upcoming year, prepare a budget to get over salute and get shocked as now with this pictures.
Love the board! Congratulations on getting everything together for the show!
Guys the Hoth Board looks truly awesome and with the added bonus of Vadar and the stormtroopers adds to the epicness of it all. Superb job all round. Great stuff!
What a great day! Spent my my limit of money on 5mins on batman stuff! Then bought 2 boards worth of terrain! Even got a go on the Hoth board for the imperials in echo base! Won a prize! Enjoyed it so much! Was great to meet everyone on the Friday night too!
The table looks great and I’m loving the the live blogging. Hope fun is had by all.
We saw Lord Vader but where is Han Solo?
I saw this… it was awesome, got a quick play aswell…. my rebel officer made it to the tunnel in the base but his companion fell to enemy fire
Mighty Kyle had a great time playing Hoth not once but twice! The first time his two At-Ats were both Knobbled by Luke and his flukey dice 🙂 the second time he decided to switch sides only to see the Imperial forces blow up the base! Big thanks to the guys riunning the game, you must all be well and truly knackered – but much fun was had and we really appreciated the effort!
This would have been so cool to play
what an awesome looking day Hothtastic i would say 😛
Guys that was an awesome table and an absolutely brilliant day! My 2 boys & I had a blast (literally) playing the Imperials. They got the hang of Grants rules easily, reported their victories to Lord Vader himself (over @ 11 speeders destroyed), and after a devastating advance down the left flank got to the second trench lines & finished the game (would you believe it) by both rolling 6s to blast the Rebel base apart! Couldn’t have asked for a better day out for us to remember & you guys deserve all the credit! Your efforts are very much appreciated & safe travels home 🙂
Aw this is so lovely to read ^_^
♡♡♡ Best story ever! 😀
Glad they had a great time, when they and the other young man all rolled six’s it was an amazing way to finish the game.
Loved the borad got my objective done with 4 at-st kils and 4 at-at kills as a bonus great easy rules set for anyone to drop in and play
This setup makes me almost want to make a tabletop Star Wars game at the skirmish-to-company level! Rarely would you see a special character, and make it all about the line troopers.
Amazing work has paid off ! Great looking table and game ! Please release the rules guys
This table was stunning to borrow a Warren , you didn’t win best in show you was robbed! Great table. I wore my basketball Chewie T shirt in honor of BOW and even got papped by Justin! Great show gents.
13:02 – How cool is that? “The Man” himself stopped by with his adjutant and three troopers to give his approval. Outstanding!
Wow that table is something else, and to see a full on game going on it wow. I can only hope that we see some seeds sown in the game production community to get a substantial Star Wars 28mm game developed……. I know Fantasy Flight have their games going but I think there is room for more.
Get a license, get Grant on board AND START PRODUCING!
