Hello Everyone! I've been miniature gaming for over 26 years, and I'm really impressed by what I see in Impetus. I have my figures based by WRG standards, so I...
Hi Steve, welcome on board! Yes (Basic) Impetus allow you to create nice dioramas and save figure where required, but of course also WRG bases work as well. A...
The idea is to link the 2009 competitions (Impetus or Basic Impetus) in a "world league". In 2009 it will be experimental so that the idea can be better tuned...
Hi It states on page 29 of the rulebook that "...any troops are automatically placed, in Disorder, behind the Unit or Group that started to interpenetrate it."...
at page 29 there is the par. on the Involutary interpenetration and the part you mention is when this involuntary interpenetration is made by a Unit moving...

As a new Impetus player (full not basic), I have a few newby rules questions. Anyone have any answers to some of them? In the army lists some mounted infantry...

Lorenzo, I am sure I will come up with less than 5 questions next time :) Thanks for the speedy response. Hope the rules are successful. Andy PS They remind me...
I have played Armati a few times. A good set of rules. It inspired me the Unit size, but probably I was more inspired by Tactica (same author btw). Lorenzo ......
