Basic Impetus Chinese Army Lists Chinese history can be seen as a succession of barbarian peoples held at bay by a powerful Chinese dynasty which would eventually fail. The resulting invading barbarians would then find themselves in the position of the defending Chinese Dynasty and the cycle start again. This is of course a gross simplification of the story of the oldest society in the modern world. But it does bring some structure to the Wargames view of this complex and fascinating history. The following lists cover the period from the fall of Han to the conquest by Genghis Khan s Mongols. This coincides with the development of the heavy horse cavalry in to the bow armed cataphract. They are divided into: Chinese Dynasties: The succession of more or less assimilated barbarian and native Chinese dynasties. The Northern Hordes: Steppe cultures of Mongolia and Manchuria some will became Chinese dynasties. Korea: The group of civilized Kingdoms often dominated by China. The Western Barbarians: The cultures around the Himalayas and south of the Gobi. The Southern Tribes: The exotic cultures of the jungles (lots of elephants!) These draft armies are based very loosely on DBA lists but have been adjusted by my interpretation of the development of cavalry during the period and how DBx troop types are best represented in Basic Impetus.
