Impetus

IMPETUS is an innovative Rules set that contains everything you'll need to play in Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance period battles.

Impetus can be played with 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm (1/72) and 25/28mm scale miniatures, and you won't even need to re-base your armies.

Designer: Lorenzo Sartori
Publisher: Dadi & Piombo
Status: In Print
Basing: IMPETUS uses a basing system that is compatible with the most popular rules. An IMPETUS base (a Unit) has a double frontage compared to DBM or DBA and quite similar to one adopted by Armati.

Base depth is not critical so you can use already based armies.
