Battle Masters: The Younger, BIGGER Sibling of HeroQuest

Watch “Battle Masters: The Younger, BIGGER Sibling of HeroQuest,” a board game video for Battle Masters from Jordan Sorcery on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Jordan Sorcery on YouTube:

In 1992 MB Games and Games Workshop completed their epic trilogy of family board games with the release of Battle Masters; a huge two player wargame featuring over a hundred Citadel miniatures from the Empire and the forces of Chaos. Conceived by HeroQuest and Space Crusade game designer Stephen Baker the game was an enormous undertaking and tried to capture his childhood experiences with miniature wargames and Warhammer Fantasy in a single box. In Germany and some other countries the game was made famous under the name Die Claymore Saga, with a brand new story and setting. In my history of Battle Masters I explore the inspirations and efforts that led to the game and share insights and reflections from my exclusive interview with Stephen Baker himself. _____________________________ Support My Work: PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery DISCORD: My Discord is now open to exclusively to Patreon supporters & by invitation only INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jordansorcery/ BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/jordansorcery.bsky.social WEBSITE: https://jordansorcery.com/ #BattleMasters Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #MBGames #Boardgame #HeroQuest #SpaceCrusade #StephenBaker _____________________________ References & Sources: [Stephen Baker Interview] https://www.patreon.com/posts/text-interview-114871700 [Battle Masters Board Game Geek] https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/700/battle-masters [Battle Masters Advert] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzE0qQITK7g _____________________________ Art, Music, and Copyright: Images used belong to their respective copyright owners Jordan Sorcery Theme by Joylin Music Jordan Sorcery Heraldry by Becka Moor

About Battle Masters, from BoardGameGeek:

Battle Masters is a fantasy miniatures battle game by Milton Bradley, presumably licensed from Games Workshop. The sizeable game box comes stuffed with tons of plastic miniatures, a deck of combat cards and some dice. Players move and fight their armies based upon what card is turned over from the deck. Combat is held on a large vinyl mat 4.5 ft square (Actual Measurements: 55 inches by 57 inches). From the back of the box: Welcome to the world of Battle Masters - the epic game where you command mighty armies locked in a legendary conflict of good versus evil! The noble Imperial Army is ready to meet the Forces of Chaos. You and your opponent must strategically guide 25 army units, featuring over 100 finely-detailed figures, across the gigantic 4 1/2' X 5' Battle Mat. Beware! Ditches, marshes, river fords and the great Border Tower lie before you. The battle unfolds as each turn of a Battle card tells which army units can move and which can attack. Will your army be victorious, or will your opponent destroy you? Who will survive the battle and win the game? The fate of the Empire is decided by you, the Battle Masters!
