IMHO I think the 28mm sizes with 1/72 are ideal. You can get a lot more troops on the base than 28s with the result looking more like an army. Also fits WRG...
I pondered this issue when I first received my copy of impetus. I cut some scrap card board bases for 15mm & 28mm and placed figures on them. It can be a...
Just to mention that (one of) the biggest wargames events in Scotland takes place this coming Saturday in Falkirk - Carronade 2009. Details can be found here...
Hi, I've posted photos of some recently completed units to the photos section. Impetus has reignited my interest in the Italian Wars period and these figures...
Does anybody in the tri-state area, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, play Impetus? I've seen no listings at Historicon, Fall In, or Cold Wars for demo or...
hi Burt I am rebasing my Sung Chinese for th Basic game and if it works out well, I will buy the whole rule set. I am aldo going to rebase my Andalusians...
there will be a demo of Impetus at Historicon, on the battle of Agnadello 1509. I think it will be on friday, don't know if on other days. I will keep you...
the passed one has been an impetuous week-end. Not only 2 tournaments were scheduled (one in Madrid and the other in Lodi - Italy-; results will be posted in...
Lorenzo: Grazie! The photos are very helpful. Do all 28mm units in the photos have an 80mm frontage? M Burton Hopkins Jr "IT'S THE THINGS YOU BELIEVE WHICH...
28mm Units have 12cm frontage, not 8cm (that is for 15mm). Another shot that shows the "diorama potential" of Impetus is here (mostly Foundry figures, by El...
Bonjourno Lorenzo I have a question for you...regarding the Sung Army list. While cavalry was an important but small quantity in the army, you do not have...
do you mean the Sung list for Basic Impetus? BI lists are fixed and not all possible options have been taken in consideration for simplicity. Usually the total...
The tournament was held sunday in Lodi. 400pts, 15mm, ancients armies here some shot and results http://impetus.forumsland.com/impetus-post-3609.html#3609 ...
Burt, I live in Norther Delaware and have based up a couple of WOTR armies for basic impetus, though I've only tried the rules once. I game with DAWGs groups...
Just noticed something in both Basic Impetus and Impetus - there seems to be an absence of long spears and pikes in several Asian armies. eg Warring States...
well, many Basic Impetus armies need a revision as for Impetus betas any imput to improve the lists is welcomed. Han Chinese. Conscripts were poor infantry,...
If 60mm x 30mm basing was used in conjunction with 6mm figures, how might the table size be adjusted downwards for 300, 400 and 500 Pt battles in Impetus (and...
in the rules I suggest to use the same size of 15mm to have no problems. But you can use smaller tables if you don't have of the same size or if you don't have...
Thanks for your thoughts Lorenzo. I guess I was hoping for some way to do IMPETUS on a really minimalist table size, like 60x60 or 60x90, with the 6mm stuff on...
mmh, 300pts usually mean at least 10-12 bases, that is a frontage of 48cm, probably a 90cm width is better to allow some manouvre. Much depends on the armies...
For 300pt Impetus armies on a 60cm x 90cm table, you might want to consider mounting your 6mm figures on 40mm x 20mm bases. For a very small, DBA-sized table,...
I can't resist anymore, sorry, but what Table Size has to do with Figure size? Table should be scaled to bases, that's all. On the bases you can put whatever...
or keep the standard 6cm frontage and play at 250pts instead of 300pts Lorenzo ... From: russcat9 To: IMPETVS@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 4:11...
