More lists for Basic Impetus
I plan to release this spring a free pdf with some more lists for Basic Impetus.
If you feel that some armies have been omitted, then this is the occasion to mention them so that can be included.

Re: More lists for Basic Impetus
I have never seen any lists dedicated to the communal revolt in Spain in the time of Carlos V in any game. Maybe it would be a great and novel idea.

Hi,
Just a humble suggestion: how about the streltsy during the time of Ivan the Terrible?

Re: More lists for Basic Impetus
Hi,
I suggest another option for List 8.7 Huns.
Option X: Change 1 CL and 1 S with:
Alan or Goth nobles 1 CP2 VBU=6, I=3, VD=3
Background: This reflects recent historian views the Huns were not an ethnic group but rather a federated steppe empire comprising many people who they conquered and allowed semi-autonomous existence in exchange for regular tribute and warriors. These included Alans and Goths. Some of the Goths fled and moved into Roman territory as Visigoths. Others stayed to live and fight in the Hunnic steppe empire
This Option represents Hunnic armies operating in the Eurasian steppe during conquest or on its borders such as Armenia, Khorasan, and Mesopotamia. Tribute warriors would likely include warrior elites participating not only because they must but also for a share of loot from raiding, as they did before becoming part of the Hun empire. As per the Goth & Alan lists those warrior elites are noble lancer types, who would not have been wiped out or disappeared after being absorbed into the Hun empire
The Huns would then have 3 options like most lists. The current Option 1 in the Hun list European centric, but in all likelihood that is only a small part of Hunnic military activity.

Re: More lists for Basic Impetus
Is there an update on the free lists pdf? One army I think it would be good to include is one for Dark Age Scotland circa Macbeth period. I am not sure which army list in the BI list is best suitable for this army?
