Sabaton has just released their much-anticipated 11th studio album Legends, featuring 11 tracks inspired by 11 historical figures, and the first music video, “I, Emperor,” puts us right in the middle of Napoleon Bonaparte’s battlefield… literally!

The song chronicles the meteoric rise and downfall of Napoleon, from his victories at Austerlitz and Rivoli to his crushing defeat at Waterloo and eventual exile. But what makes this video special is its board-game twist: the entire battle unfolds as a tabletop replay, turning history into an epic strategy match where we decide the outcome.

Sharp-eyed geeks will spot a treasure trove of games in the background, including Alien, Memoir ’44, Heroes of Might & Magic III: The Board Game, the Warhammer 40,000: Ultimate Starter Set, Talisman, and more, making this total candy for both metalheads and tabletop fans!

Watch “I, Emperor” below, and get ready to march your miniatures into glory… or defeat… in true Sabaton style!
