I've been wanting to do a highlight of the Battlefields of Valhalla so I asked one of the 'BOV' judges to write something up for me.* Riggler writes:
Battlefields of Valhalla (or BOV) is Heroscapers.com version of the “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval” for competitive maps. A group of six judges review, playtest and vote on maps that are nominated. Anyone from the community can nominate maps. The map can be yours or one designed by someone else. The judges simply ask that you have playtested the map with 500-point armies yourself before nominating.
The map must also fit our newly revised guidelines which are found
here.
The maps that have been approved by the BOV panel can be found
here. And while the display thread here is subtitled “best tournament maps” all these maps are also sure to offer up a fair and competitive atmosphere for those casual games...
