It certainly makes for a good game! It's nice that Warband can win in the open and don't have to skulk about in woods. I was playing at 500 points, and was...
Hi All I have just read the BI rules and they look good. I have a couple of questions and observations if any would be so kind. Q1. Are Ele rated as mounted...
Hi Mick 1. Yes, Elephants are considered mounted troops 2. Elephants are not impetuous and can form groups with other mounted units (yes I know it is too...
... many thanks Lorenzo regards mick ... mounted units (yes I know it is too generous, in Impetus they cannot) ... movement bonus (and you have to roll one by...
Is there a planned campaign system for Impetus? What are other people using now? Does anyone have house rules for weather, and other fun things? Happy 2009...
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the mailing list. I am painting Roman line troops, and I've come up with a question. Are most players adding their general models to...
Hi Jet, I base my commands separately (40mm x 40mm base in 15mm) and then associate them to a unit, as a 'marker', to indicate the command unit. Benefits:Â it...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the IMPETVS group: Which scale(s) do you use to play Basic Impetus and/or Impetus? o 6mm (with 60cm...

Hi all, Since Early Imperial Romans have a Good CS, would it be standard to have only two generals (i.e. 50 u range)? Or maybe three commands makes the force...
Jason, I use three, so I can have a center and two wings. I don't think there are any restrictions on how many leaders you have, so you could use more or less...
I've only just found this Yahoo group so apologies if I repeat anything. We too at the club here in Aberdeen have found Baroque a very good simulation of the...
they look really good, I'm doing something similar but mounting them on by 40x20 then having the larger 8cm bases that I can drop the smaller bases into...
i'm waiting for the full rule book to arrive thru the post, and maybe that will answer this query. anyway... in BI skirmishers and light horse charged by heavy...
I'm sorry,but I can't understand, in part, the Group rule. In the book is written that units form a group when they'placed adjacent side by side or front-back...
in BI there is not evasion. But in Impetus yes (only for CL asnd S) , and it is a free full move to the rear (same frontage). In Impetus you cannot evade+fire...
yes you can (re)form groups after initial deployment. The example you report is the typical case. 3 units (A, B and C) form a group, the unit in the middle (B)...
Any timescales for the publication of a full version for Baroque? Also, I'm interested in why for ancients 15mm bases are 8cm wide, whereas for renaissance...
Hi, Quick question after a couple of BI games where this came up. If player A has a group of three bases in line and player B charges with one base at the...
Sorry, not timescale so far. Once we have released the Spanish and French version of Impetus further playtesting will be done. A Scottish club is making good...
Hi Paul, contrary to DBx system bases slide only to avoid conformation!! :-) If you enter in contact with 1 base you will fight with that base, if you contact...
Hi Lorenzo, Thanks for the reply but still just as confused as I don't think the diagram came out as intended so here goes.... Situation encountered was; ...
Right ho, this diagrams thing definitely not working. So unit X just clips the last C or two at the far end of the C unit. Does that help? regards Paul ... the...
do you mean (hope it works) AAAABBBBCCCC .......................XXXXX ? In this case it is just X vs C, but in Basic Impetus as C is adjacent to B (pikes), the...
From reading the rules I had not realised that a large unit was still Fresh if it had taken casualties. In the example below I would have played: Warband is no...
Further to the below it seems that Large Units count half their Impetus value if the rear rank is Fresh. - Paul --"It applies to Fresh charging Units, even...
yes, once the rear ranks are destroyed and casualties affect the first rank the Large Unit (at this stage a Unit) is no longer Fresh. The term Large Unit is...
for supporting Unit the rules doesn't include the ranks of a Large Unit, but other Units that are involved in melee as directly in contact with the enemy. ...
Hi Lorenzo, Yes that it explains it. I had hoped there would be more benefit for a group being attacked by a single unit. So, in an ongoing melee the only way...
No, I suggest to use Arquebusiers and Pikes as they were historically, with T on the sides. Sometimes it is just a question of a small wheel and the enemy...
