Star Wars: Battle of Hoth is a fast-paced, tactical miniature board game designed by Richard Borg and Adrien Martinot that is a part of the Commands & Colors Series. The game uses cards that will activate units in a certain area of the board, which is divided into 3 areas, to move, attack or perform a special action or ability. The object of the game is usually to be the first to claim a set number of victory medals (usually 4 to 5, depending on the
selected battle scenario’s victory conditions). In Battle of Hoth a victory medal is gained for each enemy unit entirely eliminated from the battlefield. Each medal won this way is designated by placing the last miniature of the eliminated unit on any of the available medal stands located on the bottom left of each side of the board. In some scenarios, additional medals may be gained from the board itself, for capturing or holding certain terrain hexes or battlefield objectives. Some scenarios may outline special victory conditions, described in the scenario special rules section.
