📖 About This Game

Basic Baroque is a miniature wargame. It uses the same simple but effective engine as Basic Impetus and expands it for the late Renaissance, eg. the period from about 1600 to 1700. So it can be used for the English Civil War and the Thirty Years War. Armies are of very small size (about 8 to 12 bases, each of about 4 to 20 figures). It uses a "big bases" approach to give the players the option of making diorama style playing pieces.
