Battle Masters

A fantasy tabletop wargame that stages pitched battles between an Imperial force and Chaos-aligned foes on a large vinyl battle mat. Players command units represented by dozens of plastic figures — knights, archers, goblins, orcs, beastmen, wolf riders, an ogre champion and a cannon — placed on bases and moved across terrain tiles such as fords, walls and marshes. Play proceeds by drawing cards from a shared deck: each revealed card specifies which unit types may move or attack that turn, while dice and token results resolve combat and special cannon effects. The game emphasizes area movement, activation-by-card, and managing unit formations to control the battlefield.
