Topic: A game of Tercio

[Henerius]

We had a 80 years war event with "Dutch Military Wargaming" group.

Together with three other participants we "re-enacted" the Battle of Mookerheide in 1574
My Estalians make up 50% of the spanish forces, the other half and the Dutch troops are painted in one year by two other participants.

The dutch line (rebels)

The spanish line (imperial army)


Tercios racing forward desperate to make contact with the enemy line that is hammering with cannon, musket and arquebus on the spanish troops.

Cavalry battle on the inland flank (the other flank is covered by the river maas/meuse)





The spanish Tercios reaching the dutch lines starting their demolition work on the rebel army. In 1574 the rebel army was totally wiped and the spanish had relatively few losses. In our version the dutch slowly retreated from the field fighting, leaving the field to the spanish which were in no state of pursuit.

Beautiful. Really really nice!
Love the pictures, love the banners, love the unit formations - i might have to read up about how they work on a wargaming table...

Thanks for sharing!
