Just to let you know that the new official forum dedicated to Impetus and Basic Impetus is at http://impetus.forumsland.com/ It has been just created so no...
... Despite the fact I have DBR armies (Spanish and Dutch as it happens) I'd prefer Impetus stuck with the 80mm wide bases even for 80YW and 30YW etc. Although...
Hi Steven, any opinion is welcome. As we are talking about a convention (a rule), I think it has more to deal with what gamers prefer than on "consistency"....
Hi Just joined the group after downloading the rules and I am impressed, remind me of Armati and Vis Bellica, which can be no bad thing in my humble opinion ...
Hi Fenton, welcome on board. For any question about the rules, just ask. Lorenzo (author of BI) ... From: Fenton To: IMPETVS@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
the general (and his staff) is included in a Unit that has a (*) in the army lists. Consider that bases/units can be seen as small dioramas, so you are free to...
Hi, I looked long and hard at the different sizes - and feel that 120mm looks good for 15mm. As has been mentioned the bases are small dioramas as well as...
Hi Felix, I'm working at a sort of supplement for the ECW (and lately 30YW / Louis XIV) and I plan to put it on the web within the end of the month. The idea...
Bonjurno Lorenzo, This sounds good. I think with Basick rules system and large single bases it should be good combination. Can wait to see it. Also, when is...
Hello Felix, the Italian version of the book will be released in February. The English version in April (it should be presented at Salute 08). we are planning...

Basic Baroque will be put online in the nexts days. It will be just a draft and any feed-back is wecolme for the developing of the project. While for 15mm...
Hello, I am new to the group and will post a proper formal introduction shortly. I wanted to weigh in on basing for ECW. I currently use the Polemos ECW rules...
Hi Dave, personally I like the 6cm frontage for 6mm. Being compatible with Polemos is fine. Other opinions are welcome of course. As for Pike and Muskets...
I'd prefer 60mm frontages as a minimum for 6mm. Baccus figures are in 20mm strips so the 60mm frontage allows for a 20mm pike block flanked by 2 20mm shot...
Hi I joined today, and I wonder if anyone could tell me how many figures go on a base ? I'm interested in Vikings vs Saxons and maybe the AWI and SYW variants ...
Hi Pete, welcome on board. In Basic Impetus (and Impetus) there is not a specific number of figure per base. I mean bases should be considered like small...
Hola Lorenzo. Perry is going to sell Koreans of S.XVI. When is the list of the koreans appearing? It's really interesting the combat between Samurais and...
Hola Victor, I will include the XVI Cent Korean among the new lists I'm working at. They will be out within a couple of weeks at the maximum. First I want to...

... Yep. And my group plays it that no part of the base (called "elements" in other sets of rules) can move further than the allocated distance (called a...
Hi Paul, as a former DBM/A player I wasn't sure that turning was the correct translation (my translator that is an English wargamer but not a WRG one suggested...
Ciao, for what is worth, turn is the equivalent of Italian girare where wheel is quite litterally ruotare (the substantive wheel being a ruota in italian). I'm...
Yes, in wargame terms the English term "wheel" means to pivot on one corner and move the other corner in an arc. For pivoting on the center "rotate" is...
... From my (significant) experience in reading English military texts, this maneuver usually is called "face about", actually, IMHO. Marc (who translated...
