Baroque Released

How is this for multiplayer games (like 3 or 4 on a side)? I had heard that regular Impetus didn't handle multi-player games that well

Not sure why someone would think this is the case for Impetvs. Commands move independently, and they all move every turn. The other side might get initiative on you but that doesn't change whether its single players or multi.
