Imperials Have Entered The Base
by Brian Weeks

A cold chill settles over the outpost as the freedom fighters of the Rebel Alliance nervously await the coming battle on the arctic world of Hoth. Suddenly, a towering monstrosity slices through the dense, icy fog. The alarm is sounded, and the soldiers drop into the snowy trenches. The Galactic Empire has arrived. As the group of AT-ATs steadily approach, their massive forms loom over the battlefield raining death and destruction on the brave foot soldiers. Meanwhile, the Rebel base prepares for evacuation as they assure the survival of the Alliance against the evil Empire.

The Battle of Hoth, the sixth expansion of the Independent Development Committee (IDC) places the outcome of this fateful battle in the hands of the player. Utilize the might of the Imperial horde to finally crush the Rebellion, or assure the survival of the Rebellion with tactical resistance and withdrawals. The choice is yours. The destiny of the galaxy hinges upon your decisive strategies!

As the IDC strives to provide more expansions, in less time, the Battle of Hoth will be the first 60 card TCG expansion...ever. Stay tuned to the IDC for more previews, articles and deck strategies for your favorite card game.

About the Author
Brian Weeks (aka Skywlkr) has been playing the Star Wars TCG since its introduction at Celebration 2 in 2002. After playing the demo game and introducing it to RedneckJedi and Darthwalls, Team 'Dude Where's My Card' was created. He competed in three qualifiers, yet the closest he ever ranked was eighth. As a member on Rebelbasers, SWDuelist and a writer for the now defunct Diehard Online, he has tried to promote the game through information and interaction.

He is married, has a five year old son, is an architect, has been the Treasurer and Newsletter Editor for eight years for JediOKC (an Oklahoma City based Star Wars Fan Club), was the IDC Card Development Chairperson for Fall of the Republic and is now the IDC Public Affairs Chairperson through all five expansions. Despite all that, he still has time to introduce the game to new players…KEEP THE GAME ALIVE!
