Ok Its Driving me crazy! I have Googled for and hour now and I can't find the name of a game a used to play when I was a wee boy.


Heres what I know to be fact:

It was made in the late 80s or early 90s
It uses a Large hexagon floor mat (well it was large to me at the time) Probably 4 x 4 (feet)
It came with Cards
It had two armies
It was Fantasy based


Heres what I think I remember

One Army was knights and cannons, the other was beastmen and orcs I think there was wolf riders too
I think there was hexagon terrain you could place, like spiky pits and what not....
If I had to date it to when I was playing it it was probably 92-95
I think each army had a "super" unit, the good side had a cannon, and the bad side had a Ogre / Minataur
It was turn based.



Thats about all I can remember....

I think youre refering to "The Claymore Saga"

EDIT: Appearently that was the name it had in Germany. Elsewhere, it was known as "Battlemasters"
Klick

I've still got many of the miniatures from Battlemasters, somewhere under three coats of paint...

Thank you!!

Now Off to Ebay to buy it =)

Good luck with that. It gets pretty damn expensive.

Anyone Out there have any of the expansions?

They look like this:

Battlemasters: Chaos Warband


Battlemasters: Imperial Lords


I think they were only released in Europe. If you have them Please let me know I will pay $$ or trade for them. (the rules / cards are the most important thing to me, I can always make due with standard GW models)

Thanks everyone!

you may wanne check the german ebay. theres a set of 2 standard boxes and those two expansions atm

It's amazing that these are so expensive now.

I remember back in the day, you couldn't find them at "regular" toy stores or department stores but, if you went to KayBee Toys (AKA KB Toys, AKA K&B Toys), you could get them DIRT CHEAP because nobody ever bought them. I remember seeing, like, $9.99 on the main set and $4.99 on the expansions.

Yeah, I bought mine from the cheapo toys department for £5. The only reason I got it was because it said 'includes citadel miniatures' on the box and I thought for £5, why not. I used it as a supply of horses and pikes for conversions and paint tests.

Damn I wish I could read german! I guess I could always have my brother translate.

i guess you ould always ask around here ... theres plenty of people that speak german

lemme know if you need sumthin

thanks for the offer =)

OMG, I never knew there were expansions. Time to get the wife pissed off at me for buying stuff!

I did have the complete Battle Masters. I think it's at my brothers in Edinburgh.

Be warned...the map is HUGE.

so doc does that mean you are willing to part with it?

If so Drop me a PM!

I would do if it were mine!

I'm pretty sure my bro has it though, and thats 475 miles away from me. Sorry skip!
