Ploy, the forerunner of Imperium.

Frank Thibault was the designer of Ploy, I was in contact with his son for a little while. His son was surprised (upset) to learn of the game 'Imperium'. See the credits here:

Sadly I lost contact.

Presumably Imperium was able to avoid copyright with just two rules changes ( turning 180 degrees is ok and bare Commander does not loose on the spot) .

Turning 360 degrees (not 180 degrees as I wrote initially).
