I had planned on running the full Impetus rules this Thursday but as per the usual with the strains of the workplace hampering my free time I have simply not had the time to read the rules through, print off the army lists and organise the armies in time for Thursday.
The best I can do this week is a journey back to 1100AD with a clash between the later Fatimid Egyptians and an Early Crusade army using the same rules as last week which I think would be a good idea to continue to familiarise ourselves with.
So it's basic Impetus 2 but both armies have been made substantially larger than the basic lists as per last week. Sorry Ian... no opportunity rules this week.
The Egyptian army boasts a fine array of archer troops and mounted archers which can also fight hand to hand. The infantry are reasonably tough but numbers will matter here with the Egyptians having the larger army at their disposal.
Over on the Crusaders side we have a less diverse mix of heavy knights and foot sergeants with some foot crossbow and pilgrims thrown in to the mix.
It should be an interesting encounter and the first venture for me into this period.
May God be with you

Ahhh, no opportunity moves! Should still be a good fight - there's always a lot of work to putting on a game and it's appreciated that you're still putting it on.
