As we were unable to get accommodation in Goulburn for the November weekend of gaming, Richard, Ralph and I got together for the day at Richard's place and had a great game of Basic Impetus using their 15mm Samurai collections.
Ralph had taken delivery of a large number of new shiny lead castings which he very quickly turned into wonderfully painted figures and units and he was keen to get them onto the table.

Two beautiful armies, Richard! I have been putting in a little work on my 15mm Samurai project too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan - wish I could claim the credit (or ownership) of these ones! Look forward to seeing more of your's on the blog no doubt.
DeleteWhat a fine looking game!

Christopher we had a very good time - suitably interrupted by a very nice BBQ by the pool.
DeleteFabulous looking game and figures! I've never played Impetvs, but your game looks just right.
ReplyDeleteDean they are a great set of rules. The 'full' Impetus are my favourite - but the Basic Impetus are a good introduction and allow people to try them out for a smaller outlay in figures. Baroque then is a derivation of them into the period up to end of 17th Century and gives wonderful pike and shot games.

More lovely 15mm work, the baggage diorama is particularly fine, it would be nice to see how your 28mm Italian wars collection is going?

Great stuff, thinking about Samurai for basic impetus!
