It changes too often and the whole thing needs to be tightened up in terms of clarification of the rules and additional new rules settled . Hopefully Impetus version 2 will address these issues and if so will for sure pick up steam again. In the mean time Basic Impetus is pretty solid and perhaps with just a few minor tweaks should easily fill the time in between. Like you said, both versions have their pluses and minus.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-58484115379727450002015-11-22T13:42:42.079-08:002015-11-22T13:42:42.079-08:00Thank you kindly Jason I'm happy you enjoyed t...Thank you kindly Jason I'm happy you enjoyed the report.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-88906906330292807912015-11-22T12:06:24.831-08:002015-11-22T12:06:24.831-08:00Great looking game and superbly painted armies.

I love ancient armies and battles especially in 28mm so I'm really excited you wish to pursue this type of gaming! Be warned it's addictive as there are so many armies and periods to choose from. With this in mind I think Impetus armies are going to dominate my painting table for the foreseeable future. Oh btw, if our armies get really big we can also play big battle Basic Impetus which is simply doubling the list or of course playing full Impetus so you can always add to an army and not fear that they won't get used.;-) I agree basing directly for Impetus is visually better then sabot basing and I'll do that as much as possible.<br /><br />Christopher Christopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-37723138234958651792015-11-21T05:34:34.670-08:002015-11-21T05:34:34.670-08:00It was a great game Chris!

However, I'm prejudiced towards the system as it's my favourite so while I of course think you should give it another try I also understand not every game strikes the same note with everyone.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-38919007182129318992015-11-21T02:16:12.125-08:002015-11-21T02:16:12.125-08:00Nice one!
