In today's game we tried a sample game of Polemos Napoleonic 'General de Division' using Phil's large collection of 6mm figures. He has a real mix of Irregular, Baccus, Heroics and Ros and the newer, rather nice Grumbler miniatures. We set up a small encounter battle using the army selectors, this was quite quick and easy. The Tempo turn sequence is fun and quite easy to follow once you get used to it. However our game unravelled into stuttering confusion trying to work out the Attack Sequence, even with four of us trying to figure things out. We made some progress but at just over 20 pages, Polemos is quite a short set of rules but it perhaps does need greater clarification although that could double the length of the book.
I do feel that this ruleset has great promise to get lots of 6mm units on the table so I have joined the Baccus Forum and a Facebook page where I have found some clarification notes. I am off to read them now as I really would like to gain an understanding of these rules.
