Extra Impetus 6

When are we going to get Extra Impetus 6 with, hopefully, Dark Age Armies in it?

Maybe next Tuesday? ; )

Certainly after Christmas - so you should return to this thread around Easter to check.

Myceneans? :bambieyes:

More Bronze Age in general would be my choice. I think that will happen when EI1 gets it's makeover probably.

Onward!

I thought we had agreed the initial release of ANE Armies - very much hope these come to light in EI6

Nubian
Saitic Egyptian
Trojan/Mycenaean
Neo Hittite / Successor
Neo Babylonians
Early Medes / Persians

Dark Ages is a huge gap in the published Army lists.

According to Lorenzo in this thread ...

http://impetus.ativiforum.com/t314-volume-1-lists-ancient-near-east-bronze-age-biblical

... Extra Impetus 6 is for Dark Ages, and the plan is to update Extra Impetus 1 with more Biblicial era armies.

Correct and the same quote also says

Extra Impetus 1 will be republished completing the "biblical" lists.

When? After Baroque (spring 2015) and Impetus 2 (end of 2015). It will be released before or after Extra Impetus 6 (dark age)

So there is hope that a revised EI1 will appear before EI6

I appreciate that Dark Ages is missing several volumes (XI Steppe Peoples through to XIV Charlemagne) and only has one volume XV Year 1000 (14 lists) published but the ANE is only represented my the tiny Volume I (7 lists) and there is a huge gulf of unrepresented stuff with Volume II kicking of with classical Greek. The imbalance is immense and needs addressing.

So I cannot agree that Dark Ages is more important - it already has twice the number of lists available than ANE whilst being a substantially smaller period.

Naturally I want them all, I'd really like to see Volume IV Rome and Italy and Volume VI End of the Republic but we need to be patient apparently

Did Lorenzo specify which Dark Ages?
I'd vote for the Dark Ages in the Mediterraneum a the end of the Bronze Age/ dawn of the Iron Age.
Geometric and Archaic Greek, Etruscand, Volscans, could be complemented with further Bronze Age lists

Correct, and I'm not in a rush. I've got so many projcts to do, won't get bored between now and then no matter what happens.
