About the game

What is Impetus

Impetus is a set of wargaming rules that allows you to play battles from the Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance periods. It is produced by the same team that publish the Italian 'Dadi & Piombo' miniatures wargaming magazine.

It is an extremely flexible system which allows players to recreate armies from a huge period of history - from Ancient Egypt, Romans and the Crusades right through to the Hundred Years War and Samurai.

Impetus is designed to be played using miniatures in various scales: 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 25/28mm are all catered for.

Miniatures are based in elements - 60mm wide for 6mm & 10mm, 80mm wide for 15mm, and 120mm wide for 20mm & 25/28mm. The depth of the element is stipulated, but is not vital. This enables you to play the system with armies already based for other games systems.
