When the game clicks with people, they really like it.

It's free and if you base for Fields of Glory you can get some Impetus games (just reduce measurements appropriately based on the frontage of each stand) in while your collection is smaller and then play other more involved games like FoG when you have enough bases finished.Īrmy lists for other periods (scroll down): dp/basic2.htmlįields of Glory though, is definitely a more in depth, technical game. If the original poster ends up being tempted by an element based game without individual figures, then I'd recommend Basic Impetus.

Then each of those blocks can be a single base (or maybe a group of 4 or so smaller bases to allow for formation changes) with figures on it and I can mark casualties either on a roster, a card in a plastic sleeve using a dry erase marker, or with little tokens textured to look like the ground but then with blood splatters and dropped weapons on them. I figure that if a battle looks like this sort of thing: I'm not a fan of how the empty movement trays look. Some people though, like individual figures with removal on a per figure basis. Something like this:īut I'd cram on another 2-4 miniatures per base as I think the spacing is too wide. I prefer where each unit is on as few bases as possible for it to work in the game. I don't really like that approach, but it's what the OP asked for. Obviously every mass battle games the soldiers represented are firing in some sort of "formation." The original poster just wanted a warhammer like ranked up game.
